One of my dearest friends daughter had her first baby this week. As her parents rushed to leave work and meet her at the hospital this little man was in no mood to wait around. After a mere 3 hours little Nigel Gregory was born and the new grandparents missed his arrival! But one look at this little face made it all worthwhile. So, congratulations to mommy and daddy and to Gigi and Poppy! Instead of a card, I made this paper mache house collage as a welcome home gift. Lucky for me I have a few weeks off and I can come visit soon. I can't wait to meet your beautiful boy!
I have a degree in Child Development and have been teaching for 25 years. Most of these years have been spent with second graders with the exception of 4 years in first grade. I love introducing my students to the joy of reading "chapter books" and the language of literature.
I am a mixed-media artist and am lucky to be teaching at a fine arts magnet school. I use music and visual art every day in my classroom.
I have been married for 29 years and my husband teaches High School English. I have raised 4 wonderful kids and am still working on the yellow labs that live in our house.
