I am very excited to be teaching ELA to 6th graders and 7th graders.  I am also the girl's assistant basketball coach.  I have been teaching for 29 years. My husband and I live on a small family farm in Newton where we raise beef cattle and are home to many rescued farm animals.  We have three grown children.  I enjoy horseback riding, photography, and volunteering for different museums in our area.  I look forward to meeting all of my new students!!
