Welcome to my teacher homepage. Let me tell you a little about myself. I have taught both third and fourth grades here at BES since 1999. I received my B.S. in Elementary Education at Murray State University and my Masters of Education at University of Louisville.
I absolutely LOVE to teach reading and writing. Some of my favorite books are: The Last of the Really Great Whangdoodles, Ruby Holler, and The Boys Start the War series. My favorite teacher was my third grade teacher, who also loved to read to us - books like A Wrinkle in Time and poems by Shel Silverstein. I attend reading conferences every year to learn new, engaging literacy activities so that, like her, I can instill a lifelong love of reading in my students.
I have a one son who is in high school. I have two ugly pug dogs that snore even when awake! :) I love watching movies with my son and watching him play baseball and basketball. I stay very busy with his sports and helping the BMS Speech and Drama Team.
If you ever need to reach me, don't hesitate to send me an email here at school. I check it once a week throughout the summer and daily during the school year.
