Welcome to first grade!  I am so excited to be your teacher this year.  We have a fun filled year of learning planned.  This will be my 13th year teaching at Elm street school.  My 11th year in first grade.  I love first grade!  In addition to teaching my family is my greatest joy!  My husband's name is Stephen.  I also have four AMAZING daughters.  Katie, Lauren, Addie, and Alex.  We also have the best dog, his name is Stew, a new puppy named Bruce, and a cool cat named Luna.  I tend to talk about them a lot during the school year. :) Some of my favorite things to do are cook for my family, spend time with my family and friends, and stay fit.   Also, I am a big Boston sports fan so yes you will hear me talk often about all Boston sports teams...and if I get the chance I love going to the games!  I am looking forward to making this the best school year.
