Hello!  I'm super excited to be back with OVES and utilizing my experience to teach 3rd graders again! This is my 24th year of teaching.  We will be diving into our education using some wonderful resources available. I love teaching through Microsoft Teams, iReady, Flipgrid, and this year we'll also be using CKLA as our new ELA curriculum. My specialty is reading, however I love teaching all subjects.  I'm excited to create our virtual classroom community this year! 

I am a wife and mother of 2 teenage boys.  We have 5 large dogs who follow me everywhere and will be with our virtual classroom daily. 

Let's get learning!
