I am starting my eleventh year teaching at Ada Vista, and taught a semester of high school in southwest Virginia prior to teaching at Ada Vista. I have a bachelor's degree from Aquinas College, where I received a Spanish, Bilingual Spanish and Elementary Education endorsement. I completed my master's degree at Grand Valley State University, in the area of instruction and curriculum, with an emphasis on differentiated instruction. I have a wonderful husband, Dan, a first grader here at AV, Evelyn, and a 3 year old daughter, Adelaide. I enjoy hanging out with my family and playing with Evie and Addie, along with running, reading, drinking coffee and watching movies. I am very excited about another great school year! I will be teaching all subjects to my students except English, which will be taught by Srta. Zainea. Srta. Zainea's students will receive their math instruction from me.
I am very excited to implement some new learning from this summer, and help students take ownership of their learning, while creating a comfortable classroom environment to grow, make mistakes and learn - all while building their competence in the Spanish language!
