I love to read and I love animals..  I have a dalmatian  named Patch . . . for the black "patch" on his eye.  He is nine years old. I love children . . . this is why I teach.  My joy as an educator is to see children's eyes light up with excitement and enthusiam when they learn something new, master a skill, or begin to read.I have taught Kindergarten at Hickerson Elementary for five years.  I attended MTSU where I received a Bachelor of Science degree in Interdisciplinary Studies (Education).I encourage communication between parents and teachers.  Feel free to come to me with any questions, comments, concerns, or suggestions.  I will be available before 8:00 a.m. and after 3:00 p.m., or at a scheduled time.

Mission for the Class:
I believe all children can learn.  They do not learn at the same pace or in the same way.  It is my responsibility to meet each child's individual needs and to provide the tools and assistance that will allow them to reach their fullest potential.  Let us all have fun doing this!
