Teaching striving readers is my passion, and bringing the Science of Reading into literacy instruction has brought so much success to my students and co-teachers.

When not in the classroom, you can find me outside camping or exploring the Rocky Mountains with my husband and two boys. I love to write, design, connect with other educators, and inspire others through my personal stories & experiences in teaching.
So glad you are here!

6 Natural Regions of Alberta
Alberta really is the most beautiful province! I love how this booklet turned out when students used it as a good copy for their research – with bold self-drawn illustrations on each page. Package includes one page for each region of Alberta, and a title page that kids can colour. I have typically used this booklet as a modified version of grade 4 research for students with Learning differences. It is more structured than open-research, which some students need.

Teaching style
I LOVE teaching and am a big believer that happy kids = kids who are learning at their greatest potential. I love to incorporate classroom meetings into my week and believe that a positive environment in a classroom is so important. I love to incorporate as many learning styles as possible when teaching, and have a huge focus on students becoming leaders throughout each day. Students need to be empowered!
