Welcome to third grade! This is my first year teaching at De Soto. I am thankful to teach in a warm and welcoming community. I am excited to help students learn and expand their horizons. Third grade is a big year of growth as students go from learning to read to reading to learn. They explore multiplication, division, and fractions, and work on writing with varying sentence structure. Outside of academics, third graders will learn about persevering through the tricky parts of third grade, showing kindness to others, and being thankful. While I am not teaching, I enjoy working on my family farm, gardening, and swimming.
