Welcome to my web page.  Kindergartners and their parents are my FAVORITE people!  What a privilege to be entrusted with God’s most precious gifts-His children!  My goal is to work together with you to help your children be all God has planned for them to be.

Of course my husband, Kevin, and our two children, Shea and Kylie are among my favorite people too!  We are church members at St. Michael.  My husband grew up in Fort Myers and attended Edison Park Elementary. He is a graduate of Fort Myers High School.  I am a fifth generation Floridian and grew up in Bradenton.  I received my degree in education from the University of South Florida.  Both children began their school career right here at St. Michael in PreK-3 and are in the IB Program at Fort Myers High School.  GO GREENIES!

Our school day begins at 8:00 am and ends at 3:00 pm.  Each day is filled with learning how to be good friends and good students.  When we are in the classroom we are busy learning about Jesus through Bible stories.  Worshiping God with music and motions is one of our favorite things to do!  We learn the multiple sounds that single and multiple letter phonograms make and we blend them together to read words.  Memorizing often used sight words helps us not to have to sound out every word when we begin reading books in January.   A variety of hands on math lessons and a daily calendar time helps the children to develop a solid concept of numbers 0-100.  After we eat lunch in the cafeteria, we spend our afternoons playing, working in small groups, and doing special projects.  In between our classroom learning we have recess on the playground once a day, go to music twice a week, physical education three times a week, computer lab and library once a week, and beginning the second semester we have art and Spanish instruction once a week.  

It is very exciting to see such young children enjoy and accomplish so much in nine months!  Please bookmark our website and visit it often. Keep an eye out for pictures of special events and newsletters.  It is going to be a super year!
