#1 - This is my 5th year working together side-by-side with Li lao shi. She's amazing!
#2- Organization is my best friend (after Li lao shi) in the classroom.... however it does not always translate to my home.
#3- My oldest child will be starting 3rd grade. He will be continuing with the Spanish Immersion Program.
#4- Speaking of Immersion, this is my 5th year with the program. I am a strong believer of the program, and have seen first hand the benefits and rewards. I feel so fortunate to be a part of this program and watch the students grow in all academic areas.
#5- I am involved with many programs at Frear. One of the programs I am most proud of is the Girls on the Run program. I have been an assistant coach for 7 seasons.
#6- I have my Bachelors in Education, and my Masters in Reading. I am Special Ed. certified.
#7- If I don't get back to you when you email me after school hours, it's because I'm at one of my other jobs (which I don't get paid for), chauffeur, maid, personal chef, occasional nurse, disciplinarian, tutor, babysitter, coach, etc. I promise I will get back to you as soon as I can. :)
#8- This is my 13th year at Frear (I know, I'm shocked too!). I have spent all my time in either 2nd or 3rd grade, however I have worked with all types of students in some capacity. I have run the Talented and Gifted program, worked in an English Language Learners classroom, been a teacher in a Special Ed. classroom, and of course worked with Immersion students.
#9- I try to be as tech savy as I can, but I'm still learning. I will do my best to keep my website as updated as I can, so please check the website often for newsletters, resources, and other important things. Students will also be working on our website on a daily basis so they should know their way around my site.
#10- I'm so excited to work with all of your students again this year. They make me smile everyday, and push me to be a better teacher.
