I am blessed to be part of a wonderful family. My husband's name is Curt, and my three daughters are Amanda, Leah and Anna! Besides spending time with my family, some of my favorite things to do are read, garden, and travel.

Fifth Grade is an exciting year for students! There are many different, unique activities that we enjoy. For example, we do thematic units on the Revolutionary War, Ocean, Motion, Dinosaurs, and Medieval Times.

There are a lot of hands-on learning activities such as Mission: Explore, travel pets, dinosaur excavations, the Underground Railroad, Beach Day, and a variety of fun field trips.

All of my teaching centers
around my basic vision statement:

My vision is for 5th Graders to have fun learning, in a
positive, encouraging environment where everyone is successful!
