Welcome to Kindergarten!

Welcome to Kindergarten.  I am so excited about this school year.  This will be my 30th year of teaching and my 6th year in kindergarten.  I have had the wonderful opportunity to live and teach in 6 different states.  Along with teaching kindergarten I have taught Pre-K,  1st grade,  2nd grade and one year in 4th grade.  I have a Bachelor's degree in Social Work and a Master's degree in Elementary Education.  I currently live in Evans with my dogs Polar and Ellie  and my cat Dunkin.  I also have a 20  year old daughter.  I  enjoy cooking, being outdoors and traveling.  This past summer I had the opportunity to travel to Ireland with a group of  amazing educators from around the country.  I spent 3 days visiting an Irish school and 11 days touring the beautiful countryside! I can't wait to share my adventure with my students!
