Welcome to first grade! I am so excited for a new year and all the fun that
is to be had in our class.
My husband and I are both K-State graduates. Chris works for State Farm
Insurance, via telecommuting from Bloomington, IL. My wonderful husband
Chris and I share two little ones. Dylan is 7 and will be in third grade and
Emmy is 5 and entering kindergarten.
When I am not teaching, I enjoy traveling, reading romance novels, baking/
decorating cookies, having family movie nights, and spending time with
friends. Some of favorite things are Starbucks coffee, dark chocolate,
Italian food, and Sonic drinks. I also enjoy taking walks and spending time
with my family.
Reading is my passion! Not only do I enjoy reading to my first graders, but I
also enjoy reading professional books. Learning from the "masters" in the
profession encourages me to be a better teacher. Thanks to "The Sisters",
this year I am embarking on a new journey called the Daily 5. It is a new
way to teach independent reading and writing skills.
I want you to know that my interests are embedded within my classroom. Your
children will be cooking/baking, engaged in author studies,(Laura Ingalls
Wilder is my favorite), and digging into science and social studies through
read alouds and hands on activities.
I am looking forward to spending time with your children. Thank you for
sharing them with me and allowing me the opportunity to watch them grow
throughout the year.
