About Me
I have been teaching 4th grade at Holy Angels since 1984 . (They haven't thrown me out yet, so I must be doing something right!) I believe that learning should be fun and challenging, and I try to create projects and assignments that reflect that. I also believe that discipline and structure helps students to learn, so I try to keep things orderly. You may find me a bit strict at times. I hope to create students who are accountable for their actions, and are moving toward being more organized. I want my class to be a place kids want to come in the morning, and where they feel safe and cared about.
In my spare time, I love to read, and sew. I enjoy traveling, especially road trips. At some point I would like to be able to visit every national park in California, but this summer because of the exorbitant cost of gas, food, and lodging I did not go anywhere except to the kitchen and back from the couch. I did however make 3 quilts and finish reading Moby Dick!
