Welcome to 4th grade!
This will be my 18th year teaching and I absolutely love it! I have taught 1st- 6th grades, with most of my time spent in 4th and 6th. Fourth grade truly is my absolute favorite! We learn so many amazing things in 4th grade! My education includes a bachelor's degree in Business Administration from the University of Utah and a master's degree in Education from Colorado State University. I also have a Gifted & Talented endorsement and an English as a Second Language endorsement and a Teacher Mentor endorsement. I grew up in Salt Lake City. I am married with two busy sons. We love sports, especially the Jazz, and getting outdoors together. I also love reading and traveling. I have traveled to a few different countries including Belgium, England, Scotland, France, Germany, and Italy. There are so many more places I hope to visit some day. It is very important to me that our classroom is a safe and caring learning environment where students feel they can express their ideas, be creative, make mistakes while learning, and feel like they are an important part of something great--our classroom family! I aim to achieve the highest level of growth for each student through challenging academic goals and promoting personal character development while ensuring that students have fun experiences at school that creates lifelong memories of 4th grade! I have such a love and passion for teaching and learning! I hope 4th grade is a magical year for all of my students! |
