"Patience and perseverance have a magical effect before which difficulties disappear and obstacles vanish."

-John Quincy Adams

This will be my ninth year at Tibbals and my eleventh year as an educator.  I am so excited about teaching first grade!  I love to read and can't wait to watch students grow as readers this year.  

When I'm not in the classroom, I love hosting dinner parties.  I have a slight obsession with serving platters!  I figure if I went through all the work to prepare a special meal, I should present it in a special way too.
