I am so excited for this school year and am pleased to meet you! This is my 7^th year teaching at Garrisonville Elementary School. I have taught third grade for six years, and this year Iam moving to fifth grade! I graduated with my master’s degree in teaching from James Madison University. I grew up in Fredericksburg, Virginia so after college I wanted to return to my hometown to teach.  My husband is also a teacher in Stafford County at Mountain View High School.  

One of my goals for this year is to ignite a passion in your child that will drive growth in reading and math. For reading and math, we will have whole group lessons as well as guided groups and rotations with different learning activities and games.  In addition to the classwork and learning games, we will also use quite a bit of technology this year because we are 1:1 with Chromebooks.  Throughout the year, the students will use Google Classroom for a lot of online learning opportunities. I will also use Google Classroom and our class website to post announcements and information, newsletters, useful resources and websites.
