It BUGS me when...

Students are bugged by other students pretty easily. When they are being "bugged" by something someone is doing. They write it down on a "Bugs me" paper. They add it to our class box. Every Friday we have community circle. We always pull out a few slips and problem solve as a class.

About the store

Experience

I graduated from college in elementary education in 2012. I am in my seventh year of teaching. I love second graders!

Teaching style

One of my biggest beliefs as a teacher is that teachers need to do all they can to make their students want to be at school. I have a fun, warm, and inviting classroom. I try to plan activities and lessons that my students get excited about and want to participate in.

Awards & shining teacher moments

In my first year of teaching I was nominated by a parent for teacher of the year for our school district.

My own education history

I grew up in Washington state and attended all of my K-12 school years there. I moved to Idaho for college and graduated from BYU-Idaho in 2012 in elementary education. I lived and taught in Utah for 4 years. Now I moved home to Washington and am teaching here.

Additional biographical information

I just celebrated my one year wedding anniversary. My husband Steven and I live in a nice little neighborhood with a gorgeous view of the Olympic mountains! I love baking and decorating sugar cookies, reading books, doing yoga and hiking.
