Welcome to Second Grade at Penn London Elementary School!
On a professional note... As far back as I can remember, I have
always wanted to work with
children. It all started with my first experience as a camp counselor in
training. Impressed by the
counselors I was assigned to work under, I loved the idea of singing each
morning, exploring nature,
helping with crafts- all of it! Each counselor was either an early childhood
or an elementary
education major in college. I knew at that moment in ninth grade that I was
going to be a teacher.
My high school years started me on this career path as well. I was a
Girl Scout leader’s assistant
and took part in childhood development program courses offered by my high
school. We planned
lessons, took part in theory classes, and worked in our on site preschool
three days a week. We were
afforded the opportunity to teach and to observe each other working with our
students. It was a
wonderful experience.
Onward to college… I attended Lock Haven University and was
offered the opportunity to
student teach in Frankfurt, Germany. This experience was an amazing time for
me to grow as an
individual and as a beginning teacher. I graduated college in December and
became a substitute
teacher in the Norristown Area School District. I loved the experience of
teaching different grade
levels, learning new discipline techniques, seeing a variety of classroom
setups, as well as different
formats for lesson plans, it was all very helpful.
I have been teaching with the Avon Grove School District for the past 22
years. I have taught 5th, 6th, K, 1st, and 2nd grades and a multiage class
combination class of first and second graders. I enjoy working with children of all ages and am happy
to have a classroom of second graders this year!
I am so fortunate
that I have the opportunity to work with little ones each and every day to
make learning to read, write
and explore math, a fun and challenging experience for children. I am excited to put new techniques
and ideas into full swing this
year to create a wonderful learning environment for your child.
On a personal note...
My family resides in New London Township and we love living in the Avon
Grove community. My
husband, Scott is a 5th grade teacher at Unionville Elementary. We have two
children, Kaitlyn is 18
and is attending Bloomsburg University for education and Scott is 16 and a junior at
Avon Grove High School. Our family enjoyed spending time with family and
friends over the summer.
Our cats, Bella and Lily are a lot of fun. They have enjoyed being outside hunting for snakes, mice,
butterflies and birds... what a wonderful way for them to show how much they love us!
I look forward to getting to know each of my students and am excited about
our new learning
adventures together this year!
For each student in my classroom to:
Have Fun
Feel Safe
Love Learning
Take Risks
Always Try
Work Hard
