Welcome to First Grade!
Teaching first grade is such a joy! It is my privilege to be your child's teacher and help them grow through this school year. My goal is that all my students love school each and every day and that they see learning as something fun and energizing, not a boring job we have to do. I am dedicated to focus on the strengths and needs for each and every student that walks through my door.
I also am a wife, a mom, a daughter, a sister...I love my family! They keep me busy with sports, music, cooking, laundry, and lots of love! My husband Matt works at Hartley Melvin Sanborn as the Middle School principal and I have 3 daughters: Cora is a sophomore at UNI, Ranae is senior, and Adrie is a 6th grader. We have lived in Rock Valley for 10 years and have loved every moment of it!
