I am very excited to be at Trail Wind and to be a part of the second grade team. I have been teaching in the Boise School District for six years. 

     I think of a classroom as a community. We spend a lot of time together every day. Students in Room 6 will learn to work together as a team and to respect and encourage other students' differences. 

     I believe that students learn most effectively when they are in a safe and nurturing environment. My responsibility as a teacher is to provide students with that environment. I strive to instill in students a desire to learn and to challenge themselves on a daily basis.
