Welcome to my webpage! I have been teaching 4th grade in Fleming County Schools since 2000. Before that, I taught deaf and hard-of-hearing students in Greenup County Schools for 8 years.  ( I have degrees in both Elementary Education, and teaching the Hearing-Impaired as well as my National Board Certification in Literacy.)  I am married to Jon, and we are the parents of two teenage sons, Samuel and Andrew.  This year, I am teaching all subjects to my homeroom.  I can't wait to get to know my students! 

Please use the menu at the left for more information about these classes. 

Students: See if you can "Find the Fiction" about your teacher.  There are 10 statements, but only 1 is the "fiction".  That means only one is false!  Can you guess which one?  Then scroll down to check your answers at the bottom.  (When you are finished, make 3  "Find the Fiction" statements about yourself to share.  Make one statement false (i.e. fiction) but the rest true (i.e. fact) to see if we can figure out the false statement.
