I've taught for 11 years in elementary school, and I love what I do! I started in fifth grade, but moved gradually towards kindergarten. I think I've found where I want to stay for a long time!
I love to let my students explore concepts through small group interaction whenever possible. I encourage movement and talking throughout my room because students are too young to sit still and be quiet.
I have received art awards, and ribbons for races. Woohoo!
I attended the University of Washington in Seattle and received a BA in Japanese History, Language, and Culture. Then went on to earn a Masters in Teaching from Washington State University in Vancouver. I love being a teacher!
I have published my own comedic book, "Groomsday" available on Amazon.com. I study different modes of art in my free time. I'm a mother of two amazing children that I love. I own two cute corgis too.
