This is my 20th year teaching.  I can't believe how fast it has gone!  Time flies, as they say.  I have such a good time teaching and love it!  It's so nice to see the faces lighting up when the students "get it" or the engaged stares as I read the next chapter in the latest read aloud.   There is always something during the day that brings a smile to my face.  I am married and have 2 girls.  My husband is a physical therapist and keeps very busy.  I have two daughters: Riley (16) and Quinn (14).  When I am not at work I enjoy working in my flower garden, paper crafts, reading, and spending time with my family.  I am looking forward to a great year!
