Ashley Falls School
Educational Background and Professional Experience: I have been a teacher for the Del Mar Union School District for 28 years. I love my job; being a teacher is so rewarding! I have worked at Ashley Falls Elementary since it opened. This will be my 12th year teaching 6th grade! I taught Kindergarten for 7 years and Second grade for 8 years. I graduated from San Diego State University with a BA in Liberal Studies and a minor in Geography. I received my Teaching Credential, Reading Specialist Certificate, and Masters in Literacy from Cal State San Marcos. I am looking forward to a great year filled with new challenges and many smiling faces!

What to Expect in 6th Grade
My educational philosophy is simple. Aristotle said it perfectly, "Educating the mind, without educating the heart is no education at all." I believe in creating an environment for children that feels safe and full of love and support. I think it is very important to create relationships with my students so they feel comfortable with me and with learning. Supporting children where they are in their learning as well as gently nudging them to new places is something I strive for when teaching. Ultimately, I want every child to come to school excited and happy and leave inspired, relaxed, happy, and full of confidence. :)
6th Grade is an amazing year filled with exciting, engaging, and challenging learning experiences. Our main goal for 6th grade is to help our students become thoroughly prepared for middle school. Preparation for middle school requires students to develop their organizational skills, communications skill, and their empathy towards others. We focus on building independent thinkers who are confident and have the foundational knowledge for their next stage of learning.

Life Outside of the Eagle's Nest
I have two amazIng boys. Cole is 23 and he is starting his final year of college. Curran is 20 and is starting his third year in college. We love the ocean and surfing together(when the waves are small enough for mom). Traveling to new places is how I adventure in this world! I also love the mountains and backpack as much as I can. I do Yoga almost daily and meditate every morning. I enjoy gardening, spending time with friends and family, and cooking yummy food! Basically in a nutshell, I love life, love learning new things, and am very grateful for the life I live!
Where I am From is a poem I wrote to help you understand me better. :)
