A little about me:
I have been teaching third grade for eight years. You are my ninth class of third graders. Third graders grow so much!
This will be a big year for you!
I have been married to my wonderful husband, Rick, for 9 years and have a son, Ricky, who is three years old.
I also have a dog, King, and two cats, Jackie and Charlie. We have a full house with lots of fun. We love outdoors, watching movies, making projects, and cooking. Ricky likes to help!
I love to read! If you do too then get ready to learn about many new exciting books this year.
If you don't like to read, I will help you find wonderful books
that will take you to new places so by the end of third grade you will love to read, too!
I just completed my master's degree last August from Walden University in Curriculum, Instruction, and Assessment. I have learned the best teaching strategies for the wide variety of learners that come to my class and I look forward to using them with you!

My Mission for our Class
My mission is to empower students to be LIFE LONG LEARNERS. I will inspire students to do their best to believe in themselves. I am dedicated to show them I care each day and make them feel special. I will help students become responsible. My mission is to maintain my devotion to my students throughout my career with persistence and involvement in their lives. In addition I continuously reflect on my practices to provide the best learning environment. Students will
leave my classroom with the power to be the best they can be.
