After graduating from Lebo High School, I went to Emporia State for my teaching degree. I then spent a year substitute teaching in Osage County. My first teaching assignment was fifth grade at Carbondale, a job that I enjoyed for ten years. Next came a transition into the junior high, teaching technology and 7th grade math and eventually 7th and 8th grade reading. I currently teach 8th grade reading. I am sponsor of the SFTJH Student Council.
My favorite part of teaching reading is trying to find THE book that will get someone, who normally doesn't find reading enjoyable, interested in reading. I find myself making those matches everytime I read something new. I also enjoy talking with those who are enthused about books to find out what they are reading. A big part of what students do in my class is reading independently. I have worked over the last five years to get a substantial library built up for our classroom. Part of that collection includes books that students have contributed and I am very grateful for those donations! With the new classroom, the bookcase was expanded and is quite impressive!
When I am not in school I enjoy time with my family. I am glad for any opportunity to plan a family trip, whether it is out of state or taking in a Royals or Wildcat game.
