Favorite scripture: "'For I know the plans I have for you,' declares the Lord, 'plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.'" Jeremiah 29:11

 

If I wasn't a teacher I would be: a counselor

 

The best thing about teaching is: I get to wake up every day and work with and have fun with young people. We learn and grow together--such joy!

 

Favorite food: smoothies and popcorn (with yeast flakes and a pinch of salt)

 

Favorite song: "I Can Only Imagine" by MercyMe

 

Favorite hobby: "slogging" (slowly jogging), discovering interesting children's books and sharing them with my students

 

Favorite book: Chrysanthemum by Kevin Hankes, Steps to Christ by Ellen G. White

 


 

Teaching Assistant: Mrs. Lesia Bauer

 


About Our Class

 

Kindergarten & 1st grade students love to learn and explore primarily through play and multi-sensory experiences. We love to sing, move, and create together as we learn to love Jesus and one another.  Our class motto is, “I may be little but God helps me to do big things!” We are an enthusiastic group and full of joy. We love making new friends and welcome you to join us!

I am blessed and consider it a true privilege to work with children. I respect and value different learning styles. Teaching and learning in the classroom is a multi-sensory experience--students are encouraged to explore, be creative and think critically. Every day I want each child to know that they are loved deeply and that God has a special plan and purpose for their life!
