Hello! I am so excited for this school year.
I grew up in Jamestown, New York. I attended Indiana Wesleyan University and earned a bachelor’s degree. After graduation, I taught kindergarten for 9 years in Indianapolis, Indiana. While teaching, I gained a a master’s degree from Ball State University. In 2013 my husband and I moved to North Carolina. I have been teaching first grade at PCCS since 2013 and I absolutely love it!
My husband and I have a dog named Tatonka. He is lively and full of energy so we spend a lot of time playing outside and going for walks! I enjoy being outdoors, as well as crafting, reading and spending time with family and friends.

Here are some idea to practice sight words:
1. Using a highlighter or crayon help your child find their sight words in print.
2. Read to your child, pointing to the words so that he sees the words in books.
3. Put magnetic letters on the refrigerator or on a metal cookie sheet. Let your child make the words.
4. Have your child use glitter glue, puffy paint, markers, or playdoh to write the sight words.
5. Put sand on a paper plate. Have your child practice tracing sight words in the sand.
6. Put shaving cream on a plate or table. Spread the cream. Have your child write the sight words in shaving cream.
7. Put hair gel in a zip lock bag. Have your child write the letters of the sight words in the gel.
8. Write the sight words on sticky notes and place them on a wall. Turn down and the lights and give your child a flashlight. Have your child shine the light on the words and read each word. A cheap laser pointer from the dollar store works too.
9. Jump, hop, clap, or tap out the letter of the sight word (t-h-e the).
10. Hang a list of the words you are practicing in a place that your child will see every day. Practice reading the words any chance you get.
