It is going to be a great year in first grade. My teaching repertoire includes teaching middle school science for 5 years and teaching at Madden for 10 years. I enjoy traveling, spending time with my three daughters, and working out. I am honored and pleased to have your child in my classroom family.  I will facilitate and guide your students to become independent thinkers and learners.  My goal is to create a warm, inviting, and safe community so that all students can maximize their potential.  I believe all your children can succeed and look forward to partnering with you to make this a fantastic year!
