Wow!  This is my 19th year teaching in Hazelwood and I am SO EXCITED that I have my same class from last year!  I have taught 3rd and 4th grade and have loved this age!  I graduated from Truman State University with a Bachelor of Science degree in English and a Master's of Elementary Education degree.  I have 2 children... my daughter Abby is in 8th Grade and my son Alex is in 5th grade.  They keep me very busy with soccer!  My family and I live in St. Charles where I love to walk and read if I can every find free time! :)

One expectation I have for my students is to be Active Learners.  Room 20 students are asking questions, participating, sharing ideas, discussing, and problem solving!  We work hard each day supporting each other while learning.
