Welcome to 4th Grade Hawks!

I am excited to be your teacher this year! I love my job and I cannot wait to see you on Tuesday!
ME: My husband Randy and I live in Carlsbad and have two little girls, Layni (10), Taylin (8), a little boy Daxtyn (3.5) and dog Ollie. Randy is a math teacher at Mission Hills, so if you have older children they may know Mr. Amos. Layni will be in  5th grade, and Taylin will be in 3rd grade. I love having them here as Hawks! When I'm not in the classroom, I love to run, hike, swim, camp, go to the beach, READ, garden and travel.

TEACHING: Effort is the most important to me and a child who puts forth effort always does their best. If a student doesn't like a particular subject or struggles, it is very important to me to determine why and help them understand and enjoy that subject. I love hands on, project based learning because ALL students learn differently. We might go outside, we might head out for a field trip or a project might come home. It's all about engagement and involvement. 

Please see recommended supply list before the first day of school, I have things for the students, however, personal choice for a few items are my jam. Kids love school supplies and so do I. :)

I look forward to being with your child every day, and cannot wait to see them grow!
