Please excuse the gigantic picture. That's my dog Riley and me. In our
spare time we participate in Agility Angels. Riley runs agility courses with
autistic children as his coaches, minus the chicken costume. He likes to
visit my classroom,too.
A little about me… I graduated from the University of Toledo with a
Bachelor’s Degree in Early Childhood Education. I received my Mater's Degree
from Spring Arbor University last fall. I've had the opportunity to wear
many "hats" here at Jackman Road. I became JRE’s building sub after
graduating and subsequently was hired as an aide in kindergarten, a half-time
fourth grade teacher and literacy coach. Four years ago, I taught physical
education at Jackman. This is my fifth year as a third grade teacher. My
heart has always been in the classroom and third grade has always been a
place I feel at home.
I have been a member of the Bedford Community for roughly twelve years. I
have two daughters: one is a recent graduate of Bedford High School, the
other will be a junior this year. I am honored to be a member of the teaching
faculty here at Jackman. Your children are the future of our community. I
take their education very seriously.
I believe in children actively being the constructors of their own
knowledge. My job, as their teacher, is to give them the strategies they
need to build meaning that makes sense to them. We will be working on
specific reading strategies that your child can utilize when reading becomes
difficult. We’ll be working on math and science with the same philosophy in
mind.
I believe that we are in this together. Support from home can never be
underestimated. You were your child’s first teacher, and continue to be a
vital component in their education. Reinforcement at home is essential. I
look forward to working with you this school year.
