Hi there!Thank you for visiting our class site. I just wanted to take a minute to let you know a bit about myself.
I grew up in Spokane, Washington and then moved to St. Maries, Idaho when I was 11. I now live in Moscow with my husband, Kenny, and our kitties, Tux and Mushu. We love Moscow because it's an awesome community and it's home to the University of Idaho VANDALS where we both graduated from college. Kenny and I love the outdoors, especially if there is water around. We spend a lot of time in Coeur d'Alene on the lake. My older brother, sister-in-law, and nieces live there too, and spending time with family is very important to us. In addition to fun on the water, we also love to camp, play badminton, and go for hikes. Traveling is something we LOVE to do too. So far we have been to 14 of the 50 states, Mexico, and all over Europe together. We celebrated our 5th wedding anniversary in Paris this last summer and also visited London, Helsinki, and various stops in Germany and Italy. I was fortunate enough to be selected to participate in an educational delegation that traveled to China 3 years ago where we spent time in classrooms and learned about Chinese culture. It was a trip of a lifetime! Anywhere near the ocean is our absolute favorite, the Oregon coast being the top of this list. Kenny and I hope to one day visit all 50 states and 3 more continents together (do you think Antarctica made this list?) ;) When we're forced to spend time indoors, my husband and I love to play board games with friends, try out new recipes, and plan vacations. I feel extremely lucky to have my own classroom at Russell! I worked as a Title I para-pro at Russell the year I graduated from U of I and then was hired on as part of the 4th grade team. This will be my 6th year in my own classroom. I get to be a part of an AWESOME 4th grade teacher team with Miss Samson and Mrs. Schneegans. I cannot wait to continue working with all of the fantastic students, teachers, and families of Russell! GO RAMS! |
