I am thrilled that you are in my class this year! It's going to be a year full of fun, learning, and lots of adventures. I can't wait to see what this year has in store for us.
This will be my 8th year teaching at Bemis, and I couldn't be more proud to be a Bemis Bear! Third grade is a lot of fun. We get to learn about tadpoles, plants, multiplication, fractions, use iPads, and much more! I am very passionate about teaching all subjects, though reading is my favorite. I can't wait to share some of my favorite books with you!
I also think it is very important to work together as a classroom family. We will spend lots of time together, so it is important to treat each other with respect, kindness, and compassion. I know that each of you have a different brain, which means you think differently. It is my job as your teacher to help you grow as a learner and thinker!
Want to know a little bit about me? I am married to my wonderful husband, John. We have had quite a busy summer traveling Up North to Houghton Lake and Grand Haven. We spent time tubing, water skiing, and fishing on the lake! We also spent time with our two dogs named Max and Elvis. In my free time, I enjoy long-distance running and biking. I've completed two full marathons and three half marathons. I am excited to learn more about you and hear all of your exciting stories about summer, too!
I am confident that we will have a great school year together!
