I have taught first grade at Caruthersville Elementary School for the past two school years.  This upcoming school year I am switching to a district a little closer to home.  I will be teaching first grade at Clarkton Elementary School. I am a very hands on teacher.  I love to get messy and be right in the middle of the action.  My classroom is usually always loud with music, or messy with paint, but at the end of the day we have had fun and learned lots!  In five years I hope to still be right where I am! Sounds crazy I know, but I am happy where I am in my third year teaching. I hope to one day expand my horizon but for now, I just want to be the best I can be!

My expectations for this class are to gain more confidence towards the laws within a school system. I feel I know the basics and I truly hope that I am never put into a situation, but if I am I would like to be able to know my rights upfront. "Knowledge is power"!!!

I enjoy singing as a hobby! I sang on scholarship for most of my college career. In 2013 I was invited to sing for the Pope at the Vatician in Italy. I visited Italy for ten days where I sang in various churches and catherial halls during my visit.

I use technology every minute of every day in my personal life.  I am constantly on Snap Chat or Facebook.  Even right now as I am doing my homework, my six year old is sitting with me watching YouTube on the Ipad.  In my classroom I love using Prezi Presentations.  They are so much more fun than boring power points.  They bring life to the lessons.  My classroom also has two Ipads and five student computers for the students to access. For my lessons I use the smart board and the elmo the most.  For parent contact I use Remind 101, where I can text the parents and they can text me by using the app instead of my actual phone number.

I have been married to my husband, Ashley for ten years. We tried to have a baby for years and couldn't pregnant so we adopted our son, Dawson in 2010. I was able to be in the delivery room and catch him as he came out! I was able to be a stay at home mom with Dawson until he went to Pre-K. Surprise! Surprise! Five years later we found out we were prego! We then welcomed our sweet little Ashlyn Rose into the world in 2015. I hate cats, yet I live with two of them named Tigger and Mr. Ugly.

I was born and raised in Kennett, Mo where I still reside. I graduated High School in 2003 and went to Three RIvers Community College where I received an AA in Early Childhood Education. I continued my education at Southeast Missouri State University where I graduated with Bachelors in General Education. After sitting out a few semesters I went back to SEMO and got my degree in Elementary Education.
