Hello Bearcats!

Well...it has been a long time since I have posted anything to this little ol' blog of mine! 

A lot has changed since my last post...I had a baby...and moved schools!!!

Yup...I said good-bye to Riverview...and hello Oraze.

For those of you that don't know me...let me take a minute to introduce myself.

I am starting my 12 year of teaching and can't wait to get started.

I taught first grade for 5 years, did a 1-2 combo, and have spent the last five years teaching second grade. During those years I have coordinated student council, drama productions, taught intervention lab, served as activities director, grade level chair, coached cheer, and much , much more. I am so excited to be a part of the Oraze family, teaching second grade, and coaching the pep squad!

I hope you enjoy your last few weeks of summer!

Whenever you are on campus, stop on by room 204 and say, "hi!"

Well, to say that I have been bad at keeping you all updated is an UNDERSTATEMENT! I am so sorry...the last few weeks have been a bit hectic. Hopefully I can get us back on track. :)
