About Mrs. Phon

I have been working in education for a long time and love to see the growth kids make every year.   I have a Bachelor’s Degree in English from MSU, teaching certification from GVSU with a ZS endorsement, (highly qualified early childhood) and a Master’s Degree in Early Childhood Education.  I have been a teacher, para-professional, early childhood specialist and I am mom! 

I love the outdoors and animals.  I live in Hudsonville with my husband, our son and our three dogs!  We like to go camping, watch movies and go to the beach in the summer.  I also love photography and crafts.  I have a Cricut machine and love finding new ways to create.

My favorite drink is V8 energy orange pineapple or Diet Dr. Pepper.  I don't drink coffee but love chai tea and hot cocoa when it's cold outside.  I love nachos!!  I could eat them every day.  I also have a huge sweet tooth!  Brownies are my favorite!  

My passion is teaching and I have always wanted to teach and help kids.  I believe all kids can achieve anything they put their mind to with the right support and encouragement.  I teach kids in ways that support how they learn best and create a safe, comforting environment for all the students.
