I currently teach second grade.  I have also taught first grade and a combination first/second class.  Second graders are my favorite!! I love spending my days with my students and learning lots of things from them.  I have a minor in reading but for the past 10 years I have been in charge of science at the Elementary school.  This is amazing! I did not feel qualified to do this, but have learns TONS and now love teaching science to my students.  

I grew up in Cashmere and went to school here from kindergarten through graduation.  I attended Wenatchee Valley College for 2 years and moved to Central Washington University in Ellensburg for the following 2 years.  I came back to Cashmere to student teach in first grade and then got my first job here!  I met my husband, Bill, during my first year of teaching. We now have two boys, Jackson and Christian.
