About The Teacher
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 24 years teaches Spanish at MTSU and abroad in the summers, taking American students to Spain and Mexico. Our daughters, son-in-law, and I hope to follow him in 2010 for another family adventure in central Mexico. Our youngest daughter graduated from Lebanon High School this summer, and is joining her two older sisters at MTSU. (Thank goodness for scholarships!) Please don't hesitate to contact me should you have questions or concerns.

Mission
My mission for the class is to have them construct their 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.
