About The Teacher Label:


About The Teacher
I graduated from Sam Houston State University in 1983 with a BA in Merchandising, and after a brief career in management and real estate, obtained my teaching certification from UHCL. I began my teaching career at an exemplary campus in Texas City, my husband's hometown, where I taught grades K, 1st, and 4th for 7 years. This year marks my 20th year teaching, with 13 of those years teaching 4th grade in FISD. I have been married to Pete, my college sweetheart, for 26 years. We have a son, Ryan, who will graduate in December from UT Arlington, where he played college baseball, and a daughter, Kristen, who is a freshman at Texas State University, San Marcos.

Mission Label:


Mission
I want my students to love learning and hope that while they are in my care, they feel comfortable enough to take risks. I want each child challenged, yet not frustrated...to learn from their mistakes and strive for excellence in all they do. There is a quote that truly sums up my teaching philosophy. "Children don't care how much you know, until they know how much you care."
