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!

Wax Museum

Our wax museum is coming up! We are learning all about famous Americans from the American Revolution and Westward Expansion. We are researching, writing biographies, and memorizing our paragraphs. We will bring history to life on March 1. Come to Room 6 to meet important people in American history. Students should come to school dressed in their costumes. The doors to our museum open at 8:30. We hope to see you there!

Valentine's Day!

On Friday, February 12, our class will celebrate Valentine's Day. A note went home about our celebration last week. If your child plans on sending in cards, please send in enough for every student in the class. On this day, we will decorate our boxes, distribute cards, and complete several Valentine's Day activities. As always, class parties are rewards for completing work and displaying appropriate behavior. Students who have been disruptive in class or who are behind in their school work will miss all or part of the celebration. Please let me know if you have any concerns.
