Hi there! I am a second grade teacher at Thompson Ranch Elementary in the Dysart Unified School District. I graduated from Arizona State University and have my masters in Educational Technology from Grand Canyon University. I have been teaching at Thompson Ranch for fifteen years and this will be my 20th year of teaching as an educator in Arizona.
Second grade is my favorite grade to teach because I see so many exciting changes. At the end of the year, I am always amazed to see how much learning and growth each child has accomplished. Second grade is such an important year to establish the foundations of future learning and responsible behavior. My goal is to help establish these foundations by providing a positive classroom environment where children feel safe to learn, grow and make responsible choices.
