I am a 2nd grade teacher who thoroughly enjoys coming to work each day. I have been happily married for 23 years, I have a 16 year old son who will be starting 11th grade this year and and daughter who will be 11 in September and starting 5th grade. I feel open communication between teacher, student, and parent is imperative to ensure each child has a successfully school year. I am inspired each day when I see the desire to learn in my students eyes, therefore I strive to make my lessons interesting as well as educational.
