Hello!  This is my 27^th year of teaching.  I have taught Junior High Mathematics, 3^rd grade, 4^th grade, 5^th grade and now 2nd grade!  I live in Silver Lake, Wisconsin with my husband (Mike), and my rescue (Tara), my lab, Zoey, and love it when my granddog Bella visits. My husband teaches in Racine, Wisconsin. We enjoy playing sand volleyball or just spending time together.  My husband and I were extremely busy this summer turning our backyard into a relaxing place to spend time.  My hobbies include reading, hiking, painting, crafts, movies, biking, volleyball, and traveling with my family whenever we have free time. But, I also LOVE TEACHING!  I look forward to a "pawesome" year!
