Welcome to first grade! I am very excited that you have chosen to visit our class homepage! This website is designed so that I can share what is happening in our classroom. As you explore, you will find our weekly schedule, read about special events, keep up to date with nightly homework, find links to first grade curriculum, view some very cool projects, and read about all of the learning that is taking place this year.

I am so excited to begin another year of teaching here at Cedar Wood Elementary. This is my 17th year of teaching in the Everett School District. I was born and raised in Silver Lake. After graduating from Cascade High School, I headed up north to Bellingham, Washington. In 1996, I graduated from Western Washington University with a B.A. in Elementary Education and History. I earned my Master's Degree in Elementary Literacy in 2008.
