Hello!  I'm super excited to be joining OVS and utilizing my experience to teach 3rd graders this year! This is my 23rd year of teaching, and I never dreamed that this opportunity would have come my way.  We will be diving into our education using so many resources available. I love teaching through Teams, iReady, Flipgrid, and this year we'll also be using Pearson. My specialty is reading, however I love teaching all subjects.  I'm excited to create our virtual classroom community this year! 

I am a wife and mother of 2 teenage boys.  We have 4 large dogs who follow me everywhere and will be with our virtual classroom daily. 

Let's get learning!
