I am originally from McMinnville, TN. I received my elementary education
degree at David Lipscomb College in Nashville.
My first teaching experience was in McMinnville at Dibrell Elementary,
a K-8 school. I worked there for seven years with mainly the third,
fourth and sixth grade classes. After that, my family moved to Lebanon. I
was able to teach at McClain, Highland Heights, and then Sam Houston. My
husband and I live in Old Hickory. He is a self-employed CPA in Donelson. We
have two sons, Alan and Michael. For recreation, I enjoy gardening, sewing,
reading, and traveling.
My position at Sam Houston incudes being an intervention teacher for
students needing additional assistance with reading or math skills. Various
strategies are taught throughtout the year to assist the students with
improving their methods of attacking unfamiliar words. For the most
part, I work with a small group of students who are reading on a shared level
of instruction. We focus on the strategies to use while reading
independently, and other areas such as identifying the main idea, details,
inference, comprehension, vocabulary, fluency, and reading with expression.
This is a weekly focus of our guided reading lessons. By the end of the year,
the students increase their levels of reading significantly.
Every student has a potential to learn when the greatest effort is given.
