About Me

My photo
Welcome to second grade! This is my ninth year at Pueblo Del Sol Elementary and my fifteenth year teaching. I was a military spouse for 11 years, so I have taught all over the country! In fact, I even taught first grade for three years in Italy! I have a BA in Psychology from the University of California, Santa Barbara and I completed a teaching program at San Jose State University. I completed my Masters in Curriculum and Instruction with an emphasis in Reading. I am certified to teach in California, Georgia, DODDS, and Arizona. I live with my husband, Chris, and our two children, Tyler and Kylie. I am very excited to continue to work in a school with high standards for student learning. I also have very high expectations for my students and I love to challenge them and watch them grow into life long learners!

Science in the Herd!

Did you hear about Science Week? 
The week before Fall Break, the second grade classes at PDS shared a fun week of science activities! We learned about the scientific method and practiced making a hypothesis.

In Mrs. Blackburn's class, we did a Sink or Float experiment with different types of candy! 
In Ms. Davison's class, we made soda rockets!
In Ms. Taylor's class, we experimented with colors.
In the Herd, we made pumpkin volcanoes. Here are pictures of our volcanoes in action!


I wish we had sound effects on this blog, because I would love to share all of the oohs and aahs that I heard during our experiments!


Up next in Herd Science: creepy, crawly spider reports!
