All About Me

 Hobbies:

When I am not teaching, I have many hobbies including: spending time with family, traveling, photography, reading, cooking, paper crafts and scrapbooking.

 

 My Goals:

As an educator, my ultimate goal is to strengthen students' natural tendencies to observe and wonder about the world. Helping them develop the lifetime habits of mind to "get messy" with learning - to experiment, discover, take risks, grow, and reflect - that is why I teach. I strongly believe the best education results when schools partner with parents and the community.  I encourage your input - you are the expert on your child!
 

 Love Teaching:

I am a lifelong learner and want to share this love with students.  The challenge of inspiring children and finding ways to best deliver instruction to meet their needs, continues to drive me everyday.  Watching my own children love school also pushes me to create an environment for other students to feel the same way.
