Experience:

This is my sixteenth year with MBUSD. I taught 1^st grade and reading support for one year, then switched to second grade for seven years. I moved to fifth in 2002.

Wish List:

Nothing at the moment!

A couple of educational sights worth investigating:

www.yahooligans.com – a great, safe site that kids can surf, pretty much worry free!

www.yucky.com – – Everything you never wanted to know about the human body – and then some!

http://spaceplace.nasa.gov/en/kids/ - Great NASA start page to find information about space. Use the info search on the page!

http://mathforum.org/dr.math - Ask Dr. Math is a great site to investigate that answers almost ANY math question stumping you! If you have questions stemming from lessons in our school text (Saxon), be sure to check under both the elementary and middle school searches as our math program is advanced!
