Welcome!
I am ready to get the new school year up and going. This summer has been great! We enjoyed some much needed family time, relaxation, and even chipped away at the never ending to do list. All in all, it was a wonderful summer vacation and we are ready to head back to school and our normal daily routine.
A little about myself...
My husband and I have four kids and live on a farm in Grain Valley. Jeralyn (2nd grade) and Makenna (1st grade) are both students at Prairie Branch. Bethany (3 years old) will be starting preschool and Adam (almost 1 year old) is growing way too fast for his mama! We all enjoy spending time outdoors and camping. This summer went on a camping trip to Eureka Springs, Arkansas and smaller trips visiting family near Jefferson City.
This will be my 13th year of teaching. I taught 3rd grade for 8 years before moving up to fourth. I love this age group! I received my undergraduate degree from UCM in 2003 and returned to school to obtain my master's degree in 2005. In 2012, I finished my specialist degree in school administration. I truly believe that we should make learning a priority and I try to model that as much as I can! I am always learning and growing as an educator.
This year, I have been accepted as a member of UCM's Teacher Academy. This is an excellent opportunity that will help me develop as an educator. This will require me to miss a few days throughout the year, but it will be of great benefit to me and our classroom.
This year...
We have a very exciting year up ahead and I am looking forward to working with you and your child. I truly believe that a child's education is the product of great partnership between home and school. Please let me know how I can best help you and your child!
