Welcome to Kindergarten!

We have a wonderful Kindergarten Team at Northwoods Elementary School! I am so happy to be a part of your child's kinder year. 

I believe in learning through play and hands-on activities. Children learn best when they are engaged and excited about the curriculum. We will do math, phonics, reading, and science in fun, creative ways with crafts and hands-on opportunities to encourage fine motor skills development. We will have music, storytime, and plenty of movement breaks to keep our active bodies and active minds engaged.

I graduated from George Mason Univeristy with a Bachelor's Degree in Psychology, and American Intercontinental University with a Master's Degree in Education.  I have taught preK, kindergarten, and first grade over the past ten years in both private and public schools. 

My husband and I are a blended family with four beautiful children between us. My children are in middle school and college, my stepchildren are in middle school and high school. I love spending time with my family, visiting with friends, reading, music, cooking, and enjoying the outdoors.
