Welcome to 4th Grade!  I am so glad that you are part of my class this year.  Let me take a minute and introduce myself!

     I have lived in East Greenbush my entire life.  When I was younger I went to Red Mill.  After I graduated from Columbia High School in 1997, I went away to college.  I knew that I wanted to be a teacher ever since I was in 4th grade.  I worked very hard and I graduated from the SUNY College at Oneonta with my degree in elementary education.  After that, I worked as a substitute in the East Greenbush school district while I worked on getting my master's degree.  Well, I finally reached my goal and I graduated with a master's degree in literacy from the College of Saint Rose.

    Now I am fortunate enough to be teaching 4th grade at Green Meadow.  I LOVE IT!  I love coming to work each day and seeing all of the kids and teachers. 

   My family lives in East Greenbush too.  I am the youngest of three children and I am the only girl!  I have many hobbies.   I enjoy camping, hiking,  and traveling.  Some of my other hobbies include sports.  I love to play softball and basketball.  I am also love to coach softball and T-Ball.  Running is something else I enjoy doing with my students.    I have been in many races so far and I am having a blast.                                    

    Most of you know that I now have a kitty.  His name is Sonny.  My students love hearing about the crazy things that Sonny does.  Here is a picture of him!

    This past May I adopted a new golden retriever puppy named Sibley.  I spent most of the summer training her.  She is a very sweet and lovable puppy!  Here is a picture of her!

   Now you know a little bit about me.  I hope as the year goes on that I learn more about you too.  We're going to have a great year!
