This is my fourteenth year teaching in the district. I have taught 5th grade and third. I have taught math, science, and language arts.

I have been married to Matthew for 26 years and we moved to Houston from the UK 25 years ago. I have two children: Anna who is a Sophomore at Texas State studying Wildlife Biology, and David who graduated from Texas Lutheran University with a BA in Dramatic Media and is starting with voice acting.

This year I will be teaching self-contained, and I am so excited.

I love people and I love teaching. I love puzzles and asking questions about the world around me. I love discovering the way the world works. This year there will be a lot of questions and puzzles! I also love poetry and stories and we will be learning, hearing and creating many stories this year! I can't wait to hear and read the new things that we create.

I love teaching and could not imagine doing anything else. I am so excited for this year... get ready... it's going to be extraordinary!

Please have a look around this site. You should find lots of helpful information, but if you have any questions please don't hesitate to e-mail me at the above address. The class Twitter account is full of all the things we do each day in class and my blog has a whole section for parents.

I am looking forward to having another year of extraordinary learning and adventure!
