About The Teacher

I have been teaching since 1999.  I taught kindergarten for 3 years before 
becoming a pre-k teacher.  My childhood was spent mostly in Southern 
California but after I got married we moved to Texas, Tennessee, back to 
California and finally returned to Tennessee.  I am married and have 3 grown 
children, 2 wonderful girls who both work in the health care field and a son 
who I am proud to say is a Marine.  He is currently working as a gutter 
installer.  I have two beautiful grandchildren, Collin who is 4 and Dylan who 
is one year old.

Mission For The Class

I believe my class is a warm, safe, inviting, and creatively stimulating 
place where children can begin to learn the basics for school.  Our class 
learns through music, songs, puppets, art, and physical movement.  We put a 
lot of emphasis on the following: reading, listening, following the rules, 
cooperating with others, and sharing.  In Pre-K we are learning to recognize 
the letters in our names, numbers, colors, shapes, as well as other 
fine/gross motor skills like cutting, writing, skipping, and kicking a ball.
