Welcome to 1st Grade!

This is an important year for your child. The foundation of math and reading will be established. You will witness your child grow and learn tremendously. Although we may face some challenges, we are sure to get through them and have an amazing year.

This is my 5th year teaching. My husband and I have been married for 3 years and have a cute fur child named Chloe. The majority of my free time is spent with my family and friends. I also really love going to the movies!! I am a loving, but challenging teacher! I promise to make sure your child learns and stays safe while learing!

Here are a few of my favorite things...

All students will be issued a Chromebook. They are expected to keep it in their backpack and bring it to school daily. A case is highly recommended to protect the laptop. (They are 11.6”)
