Hi!! I am currently enrolled in the Gifted Masters Program at LSU.  I earned my undergraduate degree in elementary education at Mt. Saint Mary's in Emmitsburg, Maryland in 2007.  Being a teacher is my second career.  I worked in banking prior to becoming a teacher. Being a teacher has always been my passion. I have been teaching for 14 years.  I taught in Maryland for about 7 years before moving to Louisiana, where I teach 3rd-grade Gifted and Talented students.  In my free time, I love spending time with my family, reading, and working in my garden. 
    The purpose of this blog is to keep my parents informed. Two-way communication between home and school is so important. Many parents and families enjoying using a class (or student) blog as a virtual “window into the classroom”. Through commenting, families can be a part of what is happening in the classroom and have real time access to their child’s education. I also love the way that information published on a class blog can be used as conversation starters at home.
