I am a 2nd career teacher....meaning I stayed home with my children
then returned to school and finished my degree in 1999. I have been
blessed to teach 6th grade Science and Social Studies at Windsong
since December 1999. I truly believe I have one of the best jobs in the
world!
I am very happily married to Dwight, my husband of 29+ years!
We have 3 wonderful children:
Darin, 27, who graduated from Texas Tech in 2005 and married a
beautiful girl, Erin, in June of 2005. They are currently living in
Ruidoso, New Mexico.
Emily, 25, a 2007 graduate of Texas A&M, now pursuing a Master's
Degree in Occupational Therapy from Milligan College in Johnson City, Tennessee.
Dillon, 20, a Junior at Texas A&M University. WHOOP!
Other family members:
Precious "Yorkatese" named Riley....part Yorkie, part Maltese, 100%
high energy puppy!
Kaa - very friendly ball python approximately 10+ years old
Chachi - 3 year male chinchilla
I enjoy almost anything outdoors. I have completed 2 full marathons, climbed
Guadalupe Peak, and hiked all over Glacier National Park this summer. I
love children, especially 6th graders! I love to make learning fun and look
forward to spending this year with my new kids. Once I have a student in my
class, they will forever be mine!
TEACHING PHILOSOPHY:
I believe that the best learning takes place when students enjoy a good
relationship with their teacher and classmates and are given an
opportunity to learn through hands-on experiences. I also encourage
problem solving and critical thinking, and I try to develop that in all my
students. That philosophy drives my classes, and I hope to instill a life
long love of learning in all the students I teach.
