Teach Like a Pirate

Current Position:

This is my 9th year at Justiss Elementary. I teach 4th grade Reading, Language Arts, Writing and Social Studies. I believe in a growth mindset approach and involve the kids by showing them their data in a kid-friendly way that they can understand. Before teaching 4th I was a Reading Interventionist for 3 years and a 1st grade teacher for 5 years. I have taught all subjects, GT, SPED, and departmentalized Reading/Writing. I believe Paris ISD offers the absolute BEST interventions for our at-risk students. I am also the founder of JES News Crew. This is an organization that promotes public speaking and real world connections through broadcast journalism.

 

 Thank you for choosing Justiss as your child’s school!  #Don’tQuitGetGrit

Previous Position:

Before becoming a teacher, I completed my internship and residency at Chisum Elementary. I observed and taught in a 1st grade self-contained classroom and a 4th grade Writing classroom. After completion of my coursework, I became a Pre-K teacher at Little Ark Learning Center here in Paris. 

Family Information:

I have two children who are my pride and joy! Brian a 6th grader and Delilah is in 1st grade. We have a cat named Jack that we rescued. We also have a crested gecko named Sunny that is often at school with me! The biggest baby of all is our Australian Shepherd, Bear. I am the middle child of two sisters, Liz and Jane. Outside of school, we enjoy being in the gym and at the beach!
