Hi everyone!  Welcome to the 4th Grade :).  I am excited about this 2022-23 SY and all the fun and learning we will experience together.  I have been teaching for about 20 years.  I taught 5th grade for over half of those years, half of which was in Albuquerque, New Mexico.  I am a military brat, born and raised in the Air Force for the first 20 years of my life.  I feel blessed to have had that upbringing. I am the second child of a very close family of 5 and have one very awesome son, Michael.  That's me in a nutshell. Oh, and I love all animals (domestic and wild).
