About Me...

I have a Bachelor of Science degree in Early Childhood Education from the University of South Alabama. I've been in the field of education for sixteen years. I have been teaching Pre-K since 2011. I have experience teaching kindergarten through third grade though most of my teaching
experience has been in Kindergarten.
Teaching is my passion. I absolutely adore teaching the younger students. We've all heard the analogy, students are like sponges, they absorb massive amounts of information. It's inspiring to see my students absorb and learn so much in my class!

Parent Teacher Communication

It is my experience that students do better in school when teachers and parents are in communication and parents become involved in their child's education. I use a variety of methods to keep parents informed and involved. Initially, I send home a packet of information stating my classroom expectations, rules and day to day activities. I follow up with a classroom open house to reiterate student (and parent) expectations. In the past, I have sent home weekly newsletters for homework and other information, along with a daily behavior calendar. Besides the typical forms of communicating with parents (telephone, notes, meetings), I will now add blogging and email as part of my parent communication. I make it a practice to try and call at least one parent a week to discuss their child's progress. It's important to me to keep in communication with parents in a positive manner and encourage them to become partners in their child's education.
