Class Description:
This is a lively class of enthusiastic third graders, each of whom has unique gifts and challenges from learning disabilities to autism. We work hard together to build a sense of community and cooperation. Our goal is simple: we strive to learn and grow.

Needs:
My school does a fantastic job of providing the necessities for the education of my students. My parent community volunteers in the class and supports my instruction at home. However, many of the tools of 21st Century learners are unavailable to us due to sheer cost. I love to integrate technology into everything we do- after all, these are 21st Century children that excel in all that is computer-related,but I am limited in funds to buy such resources.
My Philosophy:
I share the philosophy of my district, which is to "Educate Every Child." I strive to take that a step further by loving every child for their unique talents, pushing them to achieve more than just the standards-based curriculum, and helping them grow into caring citizens.
Personal Information:
College and Degrees:
Bachelor of Arts, Loyola College in Maryland, Spanish '01 Master of Arts, University of New Mexico, Hispanic Literature '04 Teaching License, Sante Fe Intern Program, University of New Mexico '05
Activities:
In my free time, I coach the Cheer Team at my school, bike or rollerblade, and travel with my boyfriend. I also teach a Spanish course at the local community college. Since we live at the beach, I spend as much time as possible near the ocean.
Favorite Books:
Personal favorites include Cien Anos de Soledad by Garcia Marquez, La Plaza del Diamante by Merced Redoreda, and the poetry of Neruda, Castellanos, Emily Dickinson, e.e. cummings, and many more. As for my "teacher" favorites: anything SkippyJon Jones, the Poppy series by Avi, and Island of the Blue Dolphins by Scott O'Dell.
Favorite Quotes:
Anything that comes out of an eight year old's mouth is usually pretty quotable.
Interests:
Advocating for the improvement of education and its treatment of teachers, learning more about what I do everyday, attempting to be a leader in a professional learning community, reading, writing poetry, and laughing with my students.
