Welcome to 3rd grade!

 Of all the grade levels I have taught, 3rd grade is my absolute favorite!  I am so happy to be back for year 11 at Global Arts Plus.  This will be my 30th year working in St. Paul Public Schools!  Wow!   I was a student of St. Paul myself back in the 70's at (then) Webster Magnet School.  I live in St. Paul with my husband Dave and my three children: Bella, Henry and Sally.   We also have 2 cats, Salmon and Venus.  They come up a lot in conversation!   My children all attend/attended St. Paul Schools and my husband teaches at Johnson High School.  We are certainly St. Paul Proud here!  In my spare time, I love reading historical fiction and love to knit.  I also bake! I  Love to bake anything sweet!

This year is going to be fantastic!   I am looking forward to a "normal" school year.   We will see how long that lasts....

We will do many things this year.  We will  visit Belwin Nature Center and  the Minnesota Zoo.  We learn Taiko for our art residency with Ms. Chiaki O'Brien.  The kids will love this!  There is a lot of growth in 3rd grade.  I cannot wait to get to know your child and help them shine.

Feel free to contact me with any questions!  I look forward to spending the year getting to know your child.
