I love my days!! Mother by morning, teacher by afternoon and mom by night. I have taught second grade for the past 28 years. I am truly living my childhood dream. I love helping my kiddos engage and explore for more knowledge and opportunities.
Busy! I believe kids learn more by doing, participating and engaging in conversation. My classroom is not a quiet, timid one. We move, discuss, explore and often times giggle daily!
Sally Mae Award
After graduating from high school (the same district that I teach in...) I attended Brigham Young University to earn my BS degree in Elementary Education.
I love creating items for my classroom. I enjoy watching my students engage in their assignments and explore for more knowledge. After teaching district math classes and writing the 2nd grade math curriculum for the district... I realized my great love of math. I have since published a book with Scholastic titled ONE PAGE MATH GAMES. I am a wife, mother of 3 darling children and count my blessings everyday!
