Introduction

Welcome to 5th Grade

I am excited to be teaching 5th grade this year and look forward to getting to know everyone.

I want to take a moment and tell you a little about myself. I have been teaching for a while now, this will be my 25th year in the classroom, and I can honestly say it doesn't feel like it. I have had the opportunity to teach all grades from 3rd-8th and this will be my 7th year at Diamond Ridge Elementary. I received my bachelors in Elementary Education with an emphasis in Math from Utah State University. I also have a Masters in Educational Technology from Grand Canyon University and a Masters in English Language Learning from Western Governors University. I love to read, cross stitch, put puzzles together, and hang out with my family. One of our favorite things to do is to visit national parks, this summer we went to Mount Rainier in Washington and Craters of the Moon in Idaho, but one of our favorites has been Mount St. Helens.
