Teaching Experience

For the past 22 years I have been teaching 5th grade at Crest View Elementary and have enjoyed every minute.

My teaching experience began in Broomfield, CO, where I taught 2nd grade for two years. I then moved to Louisville Elementary where I taught 4th grade, and was awarded ARC state teacher of the year.

In 1990, while teaching seminars for the State Department of Education on integrating special needs students into the classroom, I began teaching fifth grade at Crest View Elementary.
I have been the Crest View 6-trait writing trainer and have led seminars for staff, students, and parents. For the past 15 years I have taught the advanced 5/6 grade math class allowing students to skip 6th grade math in middle school. I have also been a member of the district math curriculum council.
