I am very excited to be returning to the regular classroom this year.  A few years ago, I was pulled as a general education teacher, and moved to teach academically gifted children, and provide intervention services.  Having that opportunity enabled me to work with SO many students, however I really missed having my "own" babies all day long.  I look forward to getting to know my new class and having a wonderful school year! 

  I have extremely high expectations of my students.  I feel that it is important to expect the best, because sometimes we don't know how much we can do until someone pushes us to do it!  I know that my students are very capable of accomplishing great things- and I cannot wait to see those things!  I strive to support learning and creativity in all of my students.

My goal as a teacher is for your child to enter my class, knowing that they are cared for by me and the other members of our class, and that they feel supported.  I love to attend my student's extracurricular activities, whether it is dance, horseback riding, sports, or music related.  I think it is important to get to know my students on a personal level, and to show them that I care about them outside of school as well!
