I am excited to be teaching third grade at Jordahl Elementary School!  This is my seventh-year teaching with it being my fifth year at Jordahl.  I am passionate about teaching in order to help students grow as learners in order to achieve their dreams.  I look forward to working together in supporting your child on their educational journey this year. 

Here is some more information that you may want to know about me.  I grew up in Fountain and attend schools in School District 8 from kindergarten through my senior year of high school.  I graduated with a B. S. in Liberal Studies with the focus on elementary education and a special education endorsement from Colorado State University-Pueblo.  I completed my master's in education degree in Curriculum and Instruction in Trauma and Resilience in Educational Settings from Concordia University Portland, Oregon.  I am currently on my second year in third grade at Jordahl.  Before that, I taught fourth grade at Jordahl for three years and second grade for two years at a charter academy in School District 3 prior to that. 

I spend my spare time with my family.  I love to take care of my two yellow labs named Calie and Sugar.  I will coach soccer for my third year at Fountain Middle School.  I have been coaching soccer for a total of ten years.  I love to support students in learning teamwork, sportsmanship, and to have fun learning the sport. 

I look forward to getting to know you and your students this school year!  Please feel free to e-mail me with any questions or concerns that you might have at ccurl@ffc8.org.
