About The Teacher
I graduated from The University of Houston @ Clear Lake in 1989. I taught kindergarten here at Cline for 16 years before moving to ESL in the 2006-2007 school year. I am 6 hours short of a Master's Degree in Early Childhood Education and my background in early language development has helped me in my new assignment. I absolutely love teaching, and if I won the lottery tomorrow, I would still teach--maybe part time--but I would still want to be here! I have 2 sons, Marshall who is 16, and Hunter who is 21, so I know how it feels to be a parent! I won't lose sight of the fact that each child that enters my room is someone's "precious bundle"! I'm all about communication, so feel free to ask me for my cell number if I fail to give it out. I am also a BIG fan of e-mail, and I check mine at least twice daily. If you have a 'non urgent' type of message, e-mail is a good choice, since I can be pretty long winded on the phone...or so I've been told!

Mission Label:


Mission
ESL has been an exciting assignment for me! I hope to help discover the learning gaps that can hinder the classroom comprehension of second language learners. I will respect and applaud cultural differences and amplify similarities among cultures as well as the differences. So far I have learned as much from my students as they have learned from me, and I hope that trend continues and increases. I consider it to be a privilege and an honor to work with children every day. I expect them to give me their best, therefore, they should expect the best I have to offer as well!.
