HI! I'm so excited! We are going to have a fantastic year! I enjoyed seeing all your faces on Monday and Tuesday and now it's time for FIRST GRADE! Time flies when you're learning a lot!  I moved to Aspen seven years ago and I've been teaching First Grade ever since (Sopris Elementary and Aspen Elementary.) Last summer I got married and we just celebrated out first anniversary in Jamaica! We went sailing and spent lots of time on the beach. I have one sister, she lives in Crested Butte. My mom lives in Mi+chigan still and my dad lives right outside Disneyworld. Michigan will always be home, but Aspen is growing full of love. I adore being your teacher and I believe you will be wonderful in first grade!!! Here we go!

Here are some pictures of me and my family and friends.

We were busy busy on our first few days of school. We decided on classroom rules, learned about our classroom space and had a lot of fun! We even read stories AND did art. Miss. Kelly challenged us to a 26 word Spelling Test and no one cried. We've already been writing and reading too. We're ready for the sun to come out, but recess has been pretty stellar despite the rain. Check out our cute smiles on out First Day of School Pictures!
