About The Teacher

I am a native Atlantan and this is my fifth year teaching third grade. I am 
married to a retired college instructor and curriculum designer. We have two 
children, three grandchildren, and of course, I cannot leave out our two 
border collie/shepherd puppies.

I graduated from Georgia State University with honors and introduced 
Augusta, Ga. to Science Fairs. My teaching philosophy has always meant 
involvement. Students need to participate and be a part of their learning 
process. Statistics prove that when students experience concepts rather than 
merely learn them their rate of recall and ability for application is far 
greater. One thing I do not want in my classroom is a bored or frustrated 
student. 

I look forward to working with all the parents and students in my class and 
expect we will have an exciting year!

Mission For The Class

My mission for this 'Can Do Third Grade Class' is to help each student feel 
empowered to tackle any obstacle they face. I want them to know there are 
resources available, what they are, where to find them, not to be timid to 
ask for assistance, to be willing to take chances in their exploration for 
knowledge, and not to be afraid or ashamed of constructive criticism. My 
desire is for each student to realize that none of us is perfect and we all 
make mistakes and that it is okay as long as we learn from our mistakes. I 
want the classroom to be a safe place where they can just be themselves, 
explore and test their "what ifs" and find learning fun.
