This is my 30th year of teaching and I am looking forward to working with you and your children to make this a very productive year!
I live in Suwanee with my dog, Duey, a Yellow Lab. I have 2 sons, Jim lives in Georgia, and Chuck lives in Huntington Beach, California.
I graduated with honors from The University of Michigan and received a Masters degree from Eastern Michigan University. I have also earned National Board Certification status.
I have taught third grade for 27 years, it is definitely my favorite! My goals for this year are to enable your child to learn as much as he/she can and to encourage a love of learning. I am an avid reader and believe it is the primary key to success, so I place a great deal of emphasis on reading in my classroom. Reading at home everyday is an essential way to support your child and allow them to reach their potential!
The Milestones test that is given in the spring requires excellent writing skills. I spent the past two summers scoring national writing essays. This experience has given me the knowledge necessary to create a unique and innovative writing program designed to promote writing success for my students.
