Welcome to First Grade! This is a fun and exciting year for learning.  I am so excited about being your teacher. I graduated from Marshall University in Huntington, WV with a degree in Elementary Education and Prek-K and WGU with a Master of Education Learning and Technology.  I had several long-term substitute positions in Prek and K in Leavenworth, Kansas before taking a job in Bonner Springs, Kansas, teaching Kindergarten and serving as a math tutor. I then took years off to raise my two children as we continued to move around the country as a military family. I began teaching again in California, where I taught 2nd and 3rd-grade combo classes for five years, then a 2/3/4 combo class, and finally a Tk, K,1,2 combo while serving as the school's Instructional Technology Specialist.  This will be my third year teaching in Missoula County Public Schools and my first year at Russell. I am so excited about the year.
