Welcome to fourth grade!! I am very excited to be at Sacred Heart and teaching fourth grade. This is my seventh year teaching. I taught first grade in the Diocese for three years. This is my fourth year teaching fourth grade! I graduated from Sacred Heart School and Dowling Catholic High School. I attended Upper Iowa University and I student taught at Sacred Heart in fourth grade. Fourth grade is such a fun age!
I am passionate about creating a fun, caring, and faith-filled learning environment for my students. My goals for this year are to help each child be the best s/he can be, to continue build their confidence as they continue their educational journey and to help them learn and grow. I want them to get as much out of fourth grade as they can! I will provide them with the skills and tools they need to be successful. We will grow in our faith together. I enjoy teaching religion and passing on knowledge of our faith to my students.
A little bit about me… My husband and I have two wonderful children, Brody (14, ninth grade) and Thalia (9, fourth grade). Our summers (and now it has become year round) are consumed with baseball tournaments and softball games…and I LOVE every minute of it!! When I am not cheering on my own children, I enjoy cheering on the Hawkeyes, Packers and Braves! I love spending time with my family.
Thank you for sharing your children with me this year!! Please feel free to contact me whenever you have any questions or concerns!
