I love teaching and I have taught many different grade levels. This is the start of my sixth year teaching 4th grade here at Glacier Gateway, although it's my 17th year teaching. I'm currently in graduate school (online), working on a Master's in Reading Instruction with emphasis on Dyslexia. When I'm not learning, teaching, or searching Pinterest for new teaching ideas, I love crafting, which includes acrylic painting, embroidery, and knitting. I am a foodie, so I love trying new restaurants. I also love reading, yoga, meditation, daily walks, hiking in Glacier National Park, boating, 4-wheeling, and taking frequent road trips in and around our beautiful state.
I have been married to my handsome husband, Richard, for 35 wonderful years. We have two grown children. Our youngest child, Alli, recently got married AND finished her first year in residency as an OB/GYN. Our son, Wes, and his wife Haley, live in Charlotte, NC with their two beautiful little boys, Everett and Evan. Richard and I live here in Columbia Falls.
My classroom theme this year is Road Trips/Adventure. When I think of adventure, I think about travel, seeing new people, places and things, and learning new things. I hope that my students will share my enthusiasm for life and learning.
