Bio
I
attended college at Appalachian State University where I earned a BS and an
MA degree in Special Education. My family consists of my husband, Jack, my daughter, Tiffany, and my son, Patrick. I have two
wonderful grandchildren, Mary Hope and Jake. We also have four poodles – Bubbi, Wojo, Precious and Jacques.
The only thing in life that I have found all that it is built up to be is having grandchildren!
Message to Parents: After teaching for thirty-one years, I retired
from teaching exceptional students full-time in June, 2000, but have been
involved in Exceptional Education on a part-time basis since my retirement.
I came to ARS in February, 2004, and am delighted to be here on a part-time
basis. Carolyn Rogers and I share the EC teaching position. One of us is
here each day.
This
year, I will be at school all day on Tuesdays and Wednesdays, and 7:30-11:30 on Thursdays. Mrs. Rogers will be at school all day on Mondays
and Wednesdays, and 7:30 until 11:30 on Fridays.
We will
work with students in small groups on the goals that have been formulated by
each student’s Individual Education Plan Team. If you need to communicate
with me, I welcome your calls or emails!
I work a great deal with
my students who need reading skills on learning the Dolch Sight words. You
can get the lists of words by visiting

hummingbirds and other birds, counted cross stitching, and reading mystery
novels. My favorite pastime is spending time with family and friends.
My favorite author is Lilian Jackson Braun who writes “The Cat Who” books.
I also enjoy books by Sue Grafton and John Grisham. |
