I graduated from Eastside and received my teacher's training at Ball State University. This will be my fourth year of teaching. I have taught second grade for one year and third grade for two years. I am passionate about teaching reading and love to work with science and social studies. I am eager to begin working with one-to-one iPads this year (each student will use his or her own throughout the year). It will surely be a fresh and creative learning adventure that I'm excited to take with you. I know the iPads will allow us to delve deeper into ideas introduced in the classroom.
My husband, Allen, and I have been married for four years. We have one daughter, Claire, who will turn two this year. We enjoy time together tending our flower and vegetable gardens, playing with our dogs (Hannah and Brutus), exploring the outdoors, and reading magazines and books.
