Welcome to what is sure to be a FANTASTIC year here in first grade! I have been teaching here at Oakdale for 21 years! Each year is a learning experience for both myself and my students. I look forward to a year full of exploring, learning, laughing, and a whole lot of FUN with your child!!  Let me tell you a little bit about myself.

I have been married for 22 years. I have 2 children and 2 dogs that think they are children. In my free time I like to shop, watch my children play sports, and go to sporting events!

Here are just a few ideas to help your child at home:

• Retelling a story (beginning, middle, end)
• Writing complete sentences
• Addition and subtraction
• Identifying coins and their value
• Making change for a dollar
  

Please continue to read with your child every day!

Please don't hesitate to contact me if you have any questions or concerns.  Thank You!
