I am beginning my 26th year teaching in the Arlington School District, with
24 years teaching second grade at Overlook Primary, as well as two years
teaching elementary remedial math. Prior experience includes teaching
fourth grade in South Dakota, fourth and second grade for the Department of
Defense Schools Europe in Wiesbaden, Germany, and teaching high school math
in Marysville, California.
I grew up in South Dakota. I had the great experience of working in the
Black Hills (Mount Rushmore, Crazy Horse Mountain) during summers off from
college. My family all still live in South Dakota, so I try to go
back "home" every summer. In fact, I was just in South Dakota this Labor Day
weekend, to help my Mom celebrate her 90th birthday! I've lived in the Mid
Hudson Valley for 29 years, and absolutely love the beautiful scenery and
proximity to New York City!
I am the very proud mom of two grown children, Amber and Jeremy. I also have
a daughter-in-law, Ashley and a "grand-dog", Sasha. I love to travel, spend
time on the beach, read books, play the piano, go for long walks or bicycle
rides, and go to Broadway plays.
My mission for the class is to ensure that all children are given every
opportunity to have a successful, positive learning experience. I realize
that all children learn at different rates as well as in different ways;
thus I will implement different methods and strategies in my teaching to
reach out to all of my students. I want my students to realize that they
are all unique and special individuals who are loved, cared for, and
respected for who they are.
