Hello and welcome to THIRD GRADE!!!  We just finished up a fun SY23-24...and I know "my kids" are excited to become 4th graders, but I hope you all have a fantastic summer break!!!  I will be anxiously awaiting my new class family in August.  
 
This will be my third year at Blackman Elementary School, but my 18th year teaching.  I am married with 2 kids.  My daughter, Libbi, will be a junior at UTK this fall while my son will be an 8th grader at Blackman Middle School this fall.  My husband is active duty Army of 26 years in August as well!  We have lived all over the US.  This was our 13th move within those years.  We also have 2 bichon-poodle fur babies: Martin and Gibson & a bearded dragon named Elvira.  In our free time, we love to travel!!  We also love being outdoors whether we are hiking, kayaking, or enjoying a cool town to explore.  
 
I graduated from Appalachian State University with my BS in Elementary Education in 1999.  I went on to get my Master's Degree in Curriculum and Instruction from National Louis University when we were stationed in Germany.  I completed my Masters in 2004.
 
I pride myself in building a safe family environment within my classroom.  Every student that comes into my class will always and forever be "one of my kids." 
 
I look forward to 24-25 SY!
