First of all, I must say that I am THRILLED to teach fifth grade
at West Elementary! I fell in love with the family atmosphere when I
student taught here, and I am proud to call West Elementary my professional
home.
I've always loved children and teaching in other capacities, so at the age
of 38, I decided to go back to college to obtain licensure as an elementary
teacher.
I have worked with children and youth in many capacities which include, but
are not limited to: coaching, teaching children and youth at church,
facilitating a regional girls camp, serving as a room parent, working as a
special education aide, being an aunt to over 25 nieces and nephews, and
rearing three fabulous daughters.
My husband of 25 years teaches Spanish at MTSU and abroad in the summers,
taking American students to Spain and Mexico. Our daughters and I hope to
follow him in 2011 for a family adventure in Central America.
Our daughters all attend MTSU--two are elementary education majors, and the
youngest is majoring in speech pathology. (Thank goodness for scholarships!)
Please don't hesitate to contact me should you have questions or concerns.
Professional Associations of which I am a member:
~National Educators Association
~Tennessee Educators Association
~National Science Teachers Association
~Tennessee Science Teachers Association
My mission for the class is to have each student construct his own learning
in a safe, cooperative atmosphere. I hope to help spark a passion for
lifelong learning, to foster a real interest in the world beyond the four
walls of our classroom.
