Welcome to my class. This year I am starting my 25th year of teaching. I have experience in the elementary grades, as well as a basic skills teacher, reading coach, and ESL teacher. I am excited to embark on this journey with all the students in my classes. My mission is to connect with the students and give them a place where they can feel comfortable while learning English. I want it to be their home away from home. By the end of the school year I expect them to feel confident communicating in a new language and ready for what their future holds.
