A little about me!

I would like to take this time to tell you a little about myself.  I 
graduated from Carl Junction High School, and in 1998 from Missouri Southern 
State College with a BS in Elementary  Education/ Early Childhood.  I 
received my Masters degree from Pittsburg State University in 2003.  My 
first teaching position was that of teaching Early Childhood Special 
Education for the Miller/ Mt. Vernon school districts.  I taught Kindergarten 
five years in  Carthage at Steadley Elementary.  This is my seventh year 
teaching at CJ.  I really love my profession, because I am able to work with 
children every day.  They are such precious little people and I am able to 
help them grow into life long lovers of learning.
	 I have two beautiful children; Shila, 9 (4th grade), and 
5 year old son, Pason (Kindergarten).  I believe being a parent helps me 
better understand the parent side of being a teacher.
         I would love to see you be an active part of your child’s      
education, and want you to feel comfortable about coming into our class.  An 
open line of communication between you and myself will make your child’s 
Kindergarten year a HUGE success!!!

My misson!

I believe that all children can learn.  We all learn using different learning 
styles and at different levels.  My one mission is to help your child "DO 
THEIR BEST"!
