Dear 3rd graders,
I hope you have had a wonderful summer filled with sun, family, and fun! This school year is not going to be like any other. This is a special year; it is a time when you may fall down, but you will get up; this is a time when you will overcome obstacles, a time when you will look back and smile because you accomplished great things. My expectations for you are nothing but the best, and I am excited to be on this journey with you.
This will be my 11th year teaching 3rd grade in the Ridgefield School District. My husband and I live conveniently down the street with our two sons, Joshua and Noah, his best friend, Christian, three dogs, three cats, two fish, and four special-class pets. I have spent most of my life traveling and growing up in a military family. After settling down in Texas, I met my husband in high school and married in Hawaii years later. I then became a military spouse. We were blessed to retire here in Ridgefield, where I now have the pleasure of being your teacher and making this your best year ever!
I enjoy exercising, hanging out with friends and family, snuggling with my fur babies, and watching movies in my spare time. We did get a new kitten, so he takes up some of my spare time. I am so excited to start the new year, and I can’t wait to meet you!
