I'm thrilled to have you in my class and I'm looking forward to getting to know you and your family.  I am married with three amazing kiddos, Pierce, Allen and Elizabeth.  We have one dog, Daisy, and one cat, Boots.  I am a graduate of Valdosta State University and received my certification in Elementary Education from McNeese.  This is my 12th year teaching.  I love to sing, read, travel, garden, try new things, and spend time with family and friends.  Some of my favorite things:  Food-Pizza, Beverage-Coffee , Water, & diet Cherry Limeade from Sonic, Color-The Rainbow,  Book-Too many to choose just one, Movie-Hidden Figures.  

My expectations of you is to do your best, stay in the struggle and don't give up.  Have compassion for yourself (and others) as you learn and grow, and just HAVE FUN!  I plan on supporting you and helping you "set sail" in 4th grade.
