"A single act of kindness throws out roots in all directions, and the roots spring up and make new trees." - Amelia Earhart
I am thrilled to be teaching fourth grade at Eanes Elementary for the 2025-2026 school year. I whole heartedly believe that my students are capable of learning, doing, and achieving exceptional goals. Supporting their growth and observing how their confidence blossoms throughout the year is an honor to cultivate and guide. Parents, let's work together to help these young thinkers, communicators, and visionaries experience their greatness during fourth grade and beyond.
"The beautiful thing about learning is that no one can take it away from you." - B.B. King
Our Classroom Contract! We will:
Engage with kindness.
Show respect to each other.
Create a safe & supported space.
Be inclusive.
Believe that everyone’s voice matters.
Be extra kind when we notice that a person is feeling down and could use some uplifting energy.
Do the right thing, even when nobody's watching.
