Welcome to second grade!

I have been teaching second grade at Yulupa School since 2003 and I love it! I am very fortunate to have wonderful students and amazing family support.  I did my undergraduate studies at Mount Holyoke College in Massachusetts where I majored in Environmental Organic Chemistry.  I obtained my teaching credential from Sonoma State University.  

In my spare time I like going camping, reading, visiting friends, and spending time with my sons and husband. I also love to take photos so that I have plenty of material for my favorite hobby - scrapbooking!

My favorite color is green, but I also really like pink. My favorite animal is a ladybug. I LOVE Italian food, especially lasagne, but I also like Mexican and Chinese food! My favorite dessert is by far ice cream and I also love Starbucks chai. I have WAY too many favorite books to list, but my favorite children's books are the Fudge books...they crack me up even as an adult!

My husband and I have two boys, Grayson and Lucas. Our boys are an absolute delight and have changed our lives...all for the better!
I know that we are going to have a fabulous year together in second grade.  I can't wait to meet you and your family on the first day of school!
