Hello to all my students and families visiting my page! I am so excited to kick off another year at Spicewood Elementary! This is my 5th year at Spicewood, my 13th year with RRISD, and my 21st year teaching. I have taught in several districts in Texas, as well as at an International School in Nairobi, Kenya.
While we are together this year, you will hear me talk a lot about my family! They are the most important thing to me, and I always love sharing our stories. My friends always tell us we are an interesting family, so here is a bit of an introduction. We lived in Africa for 15 years, and 3 of my 4 children are adopted from there. Our eldest daughter, Christa, is married, and has two boys (almost 5 years old, and almost 2 years old). This photo is outdated, but we are working on getting a new one. Our second eldest daughter, Becca, lives in Fort Worth, so not too far away! Our son, Davis, is off to his second year at Bethany College in West Virginia. Our youngest son, Dale, is a senior at McNeil High School. You will find him on the football field most of the time! My husband and I love doing all sorts of outdoor things, but our favorites are camping, watching sports, and most recently a massive remodel on a small farm we bought last year. We spend most of our weekends doing the work ourselves, so the progress is slow but steady.
One of my favorite things about teaching is getting to know all the adventures, stories, and ideas that are inside each one of you, my third grade students! We get to spend a whole year together sharing all our learning, and my plan is to make it a fantastic year for all of us. See you soon!!
