Hello! I am so excited you are stopping by our 2nd grade website to see what my classroom is all about and what we will be up to this year. I want this to be a place that you can keep up to date on the information needed to make us a team. Together I know we can make this year a "SUPER" one for your child. I am looking for 2nd grader superheroes that are ready learn, succeed, and have some fun! Please check back here often to keep up to date on all that's happening in our room.
I was born and raised in Henderson, NV in a family of eight. I have one brother and four sisters. I came to Cedar City to attend Southern Utah University which is where I met my husband. We fell in love with the town and the people here and decided to plant roots and make Cedar our home.
My husband and I share a passion for education so it should not come as a surprise that he is also a teacher. Greg teaches PE at Cedar Middle School and is a Cross Country/Track coach at Cedar High School. We have three amazing kids Maddux (11), Ambrie (9), and Griffin (6) who are our whole world and keep us busy.
This coming year will be my fifteenth year teaching in Iron County. I started my teaching career in 3rd grade at South Elementary and switched to Iron Springs Elementary the following year when it opened. I taught 4th grade for four years here and then made the switch to teaching half day kindergarten when I had my second baby. I stayed in kinder for four years and am now feel lucky to be part of the second grade team.
So, that's a little about me! I am a wife, a mom, and a 2nd grade teacher. I love to travel (especially anywhere with a beach), spend time with my husband, read, workout, and snuggle with my kids. I love when dinner is cooked for me, the color aqua, my sisters, any water related activity, lunch dates with friends, my family and so much more! I can't wait to have your child become a part of my life for the next year. I promise to teach them, inspire them, protect them, worry about them and most importantly love them!
Thank you for trusting me to be their teacher. Second grade, ready or not, here we come!
