I am so happy to be able to teach first grade here at Coral Cliffs. This is my ninth year teaching but my first year in first grade.  What a great opportunity to be able to help these kids as they really begin to become readers. My goal as a teacher is to create a classroom environment where each student feels loved, valued, and appreciated.  I want my students to enjoy coming to school and to be empowered to know that they can accomplish anything they work hard for.   I’m excited for a great year!
