Welcome to Kindergarten

 




Welcome to Kindergarten! I'm so excited to meet you and your precious little ones. 

As I am fortunate enough to get to know your children, I'd like to take this time to introduce myself.  I have been able to call New Brighton School home since its opening in 2016, aside from last year as I was on maternity leave. This year marks my 12th year with the CBE.

I love everything about teaching kindergarten.  There is nothing I enjoy more then the relationships I build with my students.  This year will be hard for me as I won't be able to spend much time interacting with my previous students due to cohorting.  I teach primarily through singing, movement, art and stories.  I can find a book to go with any idea, theme or question. 

I spend my free time with my young family, biking, exploring, gardening, hanging out at the beach and watching movies.  My son Ben is 5 and is also starting kindergarten this year.  He and I spent as much time as we could on the ice last winter learning to skate.  My daughter Brooklyn just turned a year.  She is a fiery and sweet little girl who keeps us laughing everyday.  We also have an 11 year old mini dachshund who is a whole lot of personality.
