Welcome! I am thrilled to be your child's teacher this year! We're in for an incredible journey of learning and growth together.
A bit about me: This marks my 20th year in teaching. I earned my bachelor's degree in elementary education from Ball State University (chirp chirp!), and later pursued a master's degree in curriculum and instruction. My husband and I met at BSU, and this summer we celebrated our 22nd wedding anniversary. We have three wonderful children who keep us on our toes: Haylee, 20, just graduated from BSU Radiography program; Blake, 17, is a senior; and Brody, 13, is starting eighth grade this year. Our family also includes an adorable three year old Goldendoodle named Ginger. We love cheering on our kids in their sports activities and cherish our family time together.
First Grade will be packed with fun, learning, and new friendships. I hope you had a fantastic summer, and I'm eager to get to know each of you better this year!
