Hopes & Dreams for . . . 

Students: I hope that my students will become independent readers, writers, and thinkers. That they will go above and beyond and surprise me everyday. I hope that they will care for one another, our classroom community and their school. I hope that they will feel connected as a grade level and collaborate with their peers in positive ways.

Colleagues: To colleagues old and new, I hope to collaborate with you, share my ideas with you, be a thought partner with you and learn from you! 
Self: To give my all each and every day. To be prepared and to give students the tools and guidance they need to feel successful as readers and writers. I promise to make them feel welcome and safe.

Who was your favorite teacher? ​
Ms. Fox, I had her both for 4th grade and 6th so I developed a strong connection with her and felt that she really knew and cared about me.
