I am so excited to be at Blaney and in South Carolina this school year. I am from Illinois, but I moved here in June with my family from Iowa. I have lived there the past two years. I taught first grade in Illinois for 20 years and taught 5th grade in Iowa for 1 year, before moving here. I am very happy to be your child's first grade teacher. First grade is the best! I love the growth and excitement the kids have during their first grade year. I am dedicated to helping your child develop a life-long love of reading. I will take very good care of your little ones. Please do not hesitate to contact me with questions at anytime. I am always here to help. Let's have a great year!
