Welcome to first grade! I am excited to begin another school year. I have taught in public education for 16 1/2 years. Prior to this, I worked at a daycare teaching 2 1/2 year olds. This will be my fourth year teaching first grade. I have also taught second grade, third grade, fourth grade, and gifted pull-out. I am currently working on my doctorate degree. When I am not teaching I enjoy spending time with my mini-schnauzer, Milly.
