All about us
Hello and welcome! This is my 20th year at Bear Canyon and my 24th year teaching! Even though I am working with the younger grades, my first 15 years at Bear Canyon was supporting 4th-6th grade, so you could say, "I've done it all!" Outside of school, I'm married to Ryan, and we have two teenage daughters. My oldest is at Colorado State, and my youngest is at Mountain Vista. We love being outside, hiking, poking around the garden, or road-tripping to a campsite near a National Park. We are involved with our church community and have many friends in town.
Hello! This is my 4th year at Bear Canyon, and 6th year of teaching. I work with kids in grades 4-6 and I love it. One of my favorite parts of my job is the energy that my students bring to my classroom. Outside of the classroom , I am married to Dave and we have 5 amazing kids, an equally amazing daughter in law and one crazy Boston Terrier named Ella. My 3 oldest boys are all attending college in Utah, and my daughters are students at Chatfield Senior High School (senior, freshman). I love spending time with my family. We love baseball and we made a goal to attend a game at all the MLB stadiums. We acheived that goal a couple of years ago, it was an amazing way to explore the country! Some of my other favorite things include, hiking, Hallmark movies, and McDonalds Diet Coke!
The Learning Lab is a classroom for IEP students who struggle in reading, writing, or math due to a learning disability, inattention, or autism. Students come from the general education classroom to attend small learning groups. The focus of each lesson is based on IEP goals and classroom content. We use a multi-sensory approach with many learning games and practice in different modalities and technology. It's a busy and lively classroom, with groups from each grade level coming in and out throughout the day
