Hi! I am the
second/third grade combination teacher here at Oakesdale Elementary. I have
been working in the field of education since graduating from Eastern
Washington University in 1979, where I majored in Child Development and
minored in math. My career began in Spokane and Pullman where I taught
Preschool, and Middleton, Idaho where I taught First Grade. Then, in 1983, my
husband took a job in Alaska and we headed north, where I taught a menagerie
of grade combinations, the first of which was as the only teacher, grades
K-9, in a one room, floating schoolhouse. While I was in Alaska I also taught
a single grade kindergarten for 5 yrs, a 1st and 2nd grade combination, a 5th
and 6th grade combination, and varying combinations in reading, math,
science, and social studies of students in grades 3 - 12. After leaving
Alaska at the end of the 1999 school year I taught both 4th and 2nd grades in
Worley, Idaho, followed by a year of a teaching a1st and 2nd grade
combination class in Clarkston Washington. Now, it thrills me to finally be
home, teaching in such a wonderful school and supportive community.
