My classroom verse for this year is Colossians 4:2-6 shortened to "Pray... Act wisely... Speak kindly..."
This year I am looking forward to getting to know my new students and creating a fun and exciting classroom. I also am planning on using more group work and student led projects. In my classroom I like to focus not only on content, but also on skills that students can take with them and use to continue to be successful after they leave my classroom. I attend Ridge Community Church. I am an alumna of GCA, I attended Grace from 3rd-12th grade. I am married, have a beautiful daughter, and a giant dog. |

My verse for this school year is Romans 12:18 If possible, as far as it depends on you, live at peace with everyone.
I am excited to teach my students about the wonders of God’s Creation through the study of science. I believe in teaching science as the study of God’s creation. I also believe that students need to develop good problem-solving, critical thinking and communication skills. I plan to address all of these throughout the school year. I attend Fox River Christian Church in Waukesha. In my spare time, I enjoy reading, especially political thrillers and anything to do with Star Wars. |

Jeremiah 29:11 “For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the Lord, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.”
I attend Oak Creek Assembly of God. I have worked in the Children’s Ministry and I have been in a couple of their musicals.
I am so excited to be teaching at GCA because I have always felt that God has called me to teach. I feel this is where God wants me to be.
My teaching philosophy is that it is important for your students to know that you care about them. It is also important to make learning fun. I hope that I can show them that learning is fun and I hope that this will help them to become lifelong learners.
