Summer 2020
Teaching is my passion! I am so excited to work with you and your child! It's going to be a year of fun, learning and adventure and I can't wait to see what the year has in store for us. This is my 29th year teaching! All of my experience has been at the PreK-1st grade levels. I want every one of my students to feel successful and proud of his or her accomplishments. I believe in high expectations and I feel it’s important to develop the “whole” child-spiritually, socially and academically. I have a growth mindset and encourage my students to see mistakes and failure as an opportunity to grow and learn.
My family and I moved to New Prague during the summer of 2005. My husband, Tom, is the Assistant Principal at the high school. Both of my sons are SWS graduates. Jacob is in his 3rd year at Iowa State University majoring in business and Ryan is an infantryman in the Army at Fort Carson, Colorado. It seems like yesterday that he was in kindergarten in the same room our students attend kindergarten! This will be my 15th year teaching at St. Wenceslaus. I received my Masters of Education in Curriculum and Instruction from St. Mary’s University in May 2006.
When I'm not teaching (or thinking about teaching) I enjoy reading, spending time with my family and cats and dreaming about the day I can move to Orlando and work at Walt Disney World!
