Hello readers! This page is all about Mrs. Laura Furnell. I have been married for 30 years to Robert. We have 3 children. Mikal, Courtnee, and Wyatt are all adults now. We also have 4 grandchildren named Allison, Braxton, Liam, and Jensen. Courtnee and Wyatt both went to TM and Allison did too. Braxton is in Mrs. Lathrop's class. I have been teaching in Gilbert Public Schools since 2001. I started out in a 4th grade classroom at Pioneer for the spring semester. I then was hired at Towne Meadows in the fall of 2001 teaching 3rd grade. I taught 3rd grade for 14 years!! I thought for a long time that I would remain in the classroom my whole career, but I was blessed to move to the Library in 2015 when Mrs. Bucholz retired. I have a bachelor's degree in education as well as a master's degree in curriculum and instruction from ASU from 2007. I love children's literature and can't wait to share all the great resources with parents and students!!
