A little bit more about me:
 *I am the middle of three daughters to two wonderful parents, one of which is also teacher. I was born in California but have lived on the westside of Indianapolis since I was five.
*I attended Wayne Township schools and graduated from Ben Davis High School in 2003. I attended IU in Bloomington for two years and then moved back home and went to IUPUI for two years. I graduated in 2007 with my degree in Elementary Education.
*I student taught in IPS and Wayne Township in 2006-2007. After graduation I filled in for two maternity leaves, one in Wayne Township and one in IPS. I also did a long-term sub position, also in IPS. In 2008 I started teaching 6th grade in Decatur at the Intermediate Learning Center. I currently teach Language Arts and Social Studies half-time on the Excellence Community.
*I enjoy reading all kinds of books. Harry Potter and Lemony Snicket's Series of Unfortunate Events are two of my favorite book series. I also enjoy Roald Dahl, James Marshall, and Dr. Seuss books. I have a cat named Jack and a dog named Zoe. I got married in 2007 and went to Jamaica afterwards. Traveling is also one of my favorite hobbies. I have been to Canada, Colorado, Gulf Shores, Chicago, Yellowstone National Park, and the Grand Canyon. I hope to travel to Russia, Hawaii, and parts of Western Europe.

My Classroom Features


I have so many books that keeping them organized could be hard at times. So, I decided to organize them by different categories: genre, author, award winners, series, and others.







I also have a section of non-fiction and resource books that I keep seperate. That way, these books are very easy to find and use.















One of my favorite spots in my classroom is the reading corner. Here I have a comfy bowl-chair, pillows, a fun rug, and more books. This is where students can relax and read independently in quiet, small groups.
