It's hard to believe that this will already be my thirteenth year of teaching! Time sure flies when you're having fun! I have spent twelve of those years teaching kindergarten, and one teaching first-grade. I absolutely love teaching our smallest learners to be big thinkers! :)
I received both of my undergraduate degrees, BA Journalism and BS Elementary Education, from The University of Wisconsin--Madison. Go Bucky! I have also earned my master's degree in Reading Education from The University of Wisconsin--Oshkosh. And I became a National Board Certified Teacher in 2017.
As you can probably tell, I'm a lifelong learner. I hope to use the knowledge that I've gained, and continue to gain, to inspire my students to be just as passionate about learning as I am!
When I'm not teaching I enjoy staying active. I like to run, swim, bike, kayak, and hike. I also love reading, traveling, and spending time with my friends, family, and dog Annie.
I look forward to learning more about the interest and hobbies of your family as well!
P.S. I also love reading with my niece Alexis. The picture below is of us reading together when she was about to enter kindergarten. She is now a voracious reader and loves to have "Reading Parties" with me! :)
