Hello!

Welcome to our classroom blog! This will be our main form of communication - where you can see and read about the great things we are doing in our room.

I am so excited to get to know all of you! As I prepare for all of you to arrive, I can't help but think about what your favorite books will be and the amazing ideas you will all bring to our room.

This will be my first year teaching in Corbett; I was in Salem for the last couple of years. I received my BA in English from Portland State University, and my MAT from Willamette University. My husband, David, and I just celebrated our first anniversary by going back to our honeymoon destination - Disneyworld! We had an amazing time. Other than that, I got to travel to Washington D.C. with some of our other teachers, went to Seattle, and played with my dog, Odie at the beach.
Hiking with friends at Silver Creek Falls and blueberry picking!

Our trip was amazing! These are a few pictures from my favorite place, Animal Kingdom! The dinosaurs scare me every time!



See you all soon - one week! I am SO ready!
