I love teaching 4th/5th grade! Teaching the oldest kids in the school is the best! Going to overnight camp and teaching FLASH is my favorite thing about 5th grade!
EDUCATION: I have a Masters in Human Development, and a BA in English literature. Go Dawgs!
PERSONAL: I am mother of three kids. I love to travel, spend time with friends and family and I'm obsessed with gardening when my back is not hurting!
TEACHING: I would consider myself as a warm demander. I have high expectations for my students and they reach them!
Welcome to 4th/5th grade in the Perfect Pink Paradise!
Over the past 25 years, I have had the amazing opportunity to work as a Classroom Teacher and Reading Specialist with wonderful families, students, and colleagues in Bellevue, Shoreline, and Seattle. When I am not at school, I enjoy reading, running, traveling, and spending time with my two sons.
I am so lucky and honored to be part of the John Hay community. As a Reading Specialist, I am passionate about helping students master the foundations of reading in order to become confident readers.
Hello! I’m thrilled to be joining the John Hay community as a first-grade teacher this year. I am excited to work with you all and be a part of this wonderful school community!
In the 20 plus years I have been a teacher in Seattle, I have taught many grade levels at a couple different schools. I have been at Hay since 2004 and I am teaching one of my favorite grades, fourth grade. I have a Masters in Curriculum and Instruction and a BA in Sociology-anthropology. I hold high expectations for all of my students and love to sing with my class as often as possible.
