About The Teacher
I recently returned to my hometown of Cullman after living away for 20 years. My husband,Jody,retired from the Army and we are glad to be back in Cullman with our daughters Caroline and Emma. This will be my 12th year of teaching first grade in my third school. I earned my bachelor's degree in Early Childhood Education from the University of Alabama in 1987 and my Master's Degree in Education from UAB in 1995. I taught one year for DoDDS in Germany and seven years in Clarksville, TN. I am so excited to begin my fourth year here at Cullman City Primary School. As a family we enjoy traveling, going to the lake, and cheering for the Bearcats!

Mission
My mission for our class is to equip my students with the knowledge and skills that they need to become independent readers and writers. Along the way we will also become a community of learners where we encourage one another to be problem-solvers, thoughtful listeners, and caring friends. My goal is to instill a love of learning and a respect for curiosity in my students that they will carry with them through the rest of their academic careers.
