TEACHING EXPERIENCE

I am in my 10th year of teaching, my first year teaching 3rd grade. I enjoy the opportunity to develop meaningful and engaging lessons.

MY TEACHING STYLE

What can I say? I love to laugh! I hope to bring a sense of humor and energy to my classroom and students' learning. I think students learn best when they have a relationship with the teacher, so that's what I work on building everyday.

HONORS/AWARDS/SHINING TEACHER MOMENT

Well... I've been told I'm the BEST teacher by numerous students;)

MY OWN EDUCATIONAL HISTORY

I received a BS and MS in Elementary Education from the University of Nebraska at Omaha and am currently working toward a degree in Educational Leadership.

ADDITIONAL BIOGRAPHICAL INFORMATION

I am living the dream with a handsome husband and two beautiful children, all of whom keep me amused and busy everyday.
