I have been teaching school for 17 years.  My family and I moved to 
Columbus,Georgia in August of 2005. I began teaching third grade at 
Blanchard Elementary in 2005. I love working with third grade students!!!   

 Students always like to know about their teacher's interests or hobbies. I 
love the UGA Bulldogs, swimming, reading books, and spending time with my 
family. One of my favorite reading series is The Boxcar Children.  We will 
read several books from this series in our classroom this year!

I have a wonderful husband, two children, two dogs and a cat at home. Our 
house is always a busy place. My favorite activity is spending time 
with my family.

I graduated from the University of Georgia. I have a Bachelors degree and a 
Masters Degree in Early Childhood Education.  I have worked with and been 
around children all my life.  My little sister and dolls were always the 
students in my imaginary classroom!! 
 
I have a wonderful family in south Georgia. My mother, father, and younger 
sister all work and teach at Colquitt County High School.   My great 
grandmothers, great aunt, and great uncle were all teachers in one room 
school houses in south Georgia and Alabama.  You could say that I have 
always spent time around educators!!

I hope your student enjoys spending time in our classroom as much as I do!! 
I hope to instill a love of reading and learning in every student that I 
teach.  I look forward to an awesome 2008-09 school year at Blanchard.
