Welcome to Third Grade!  I'm so happy to be here and I hope you are too!
  • This is my 34th year of teaching and my 32nd year at Fir Grove.  I have taught in LRC, Title 1, 1st Grade, 4th Grade, 5th Grade and now Third Grade.
  • I LOVE to read and I LOVE encouraging students to read.  Check out my Battle of the Books information.
  • I also love Science and Math.  Actually, I just plain LOVE learning!
​I hope that your third grade year is the best year ever.  I look forward to learning and growing with all of you!
