I am a graduate of Kutztown University, and I earned my Reading Specialist Master's Degree at Wilkes University. I have been teaching in the East Penn School District since 2009. I taught for 2 years at LMMS; both in Language Arts and Communications. I joined the wonderful Eyer family in January 2011. It is always an awesome experience getting to know a new group of students, and I am very excited about this year!
Personally, I am married to my husband, Hunter, and we have two children, Karter and Adalyn. We also have a Cockapoo named Jetson, and a crazy Mini-Bernedoodle, Twyla. We are a camping family and try to take vacations where we can travel with our home on wheels. My favorite color is green, and some of my hobbies include hand-lettering, reading, writing, watching Gilmore Girls and HGTV, decorating, and trying Pinterest projects.
My goals for this year include being fair to, and respectful of, each student and his or her family. I also want students to leave my classroom in June feeling ready for the next school year academically, mentally, and emotionally. Please feel free to contact me at any time with questions or comments. I also encourage every student and parent to stay informed with what’s going on in our classroom. Students are encouraged check Schoology on a daily basis to keep track of assignments and topics covered in class that day, most especially on days that they are absent.
