The foundation of our classroom is based on the ideals from this book, Have You Filled A Bucket?, written by Carol McCloud. I encourage you to give it a read or refer to this video if you are interested in what it means to be a "bucket filler"!
In our classroom, we are a family that is kind to ourselves and kind to others. We will learn to always be respectful, responsible, and accountable. The practices in my classroom work to promote positive behavior and language so that everyone can be a "bucket filler".
We also celebrate each student in our classroom through a "Star of the Week" program by highlighting all the unique things that make them who they are! This is an opportunity for us to get to know each student in our classroom better and for everyone to showcase all their favorite things!
I am an Arizona native! Although I do enjoy traveling quite a bit to visit family and friends! I enjoy spending time outdoors as much as I do spending time inside, with games, a good book, and movies! I graduated from SDOHS and have been in DVUSD all my life! I graduated from NAU with my Bachelor's in Education. I have been here at Las Brisas teaching 2nd Grade since 2022! I am so excited to get to know your little ones and watch them grow! Let’s make this year great together!
