The 2012-2013 school year will be my 6th year teaching. I graduated from Michigan State University in 2006. I received my Master's in Literacy from Lesley University in 2012. I taught First Grade for 3 years, and this will be my third year teaching Second Grade.

I strongly feel that every student has the capacity to learn and achieve in a classroom where they feel safe, secure and supported. Students in my classroom learn through cooperative group work, independent learning, and whole class instruction on a regular basis in order to excel in all areas of learning.
