I am so excited to be your second grade teacher this year.  I’ve been at Polenta Elementary for 4 years and taught in another county for two years prior to that. I have a feeling this year will be the best year yet.  I am originally from North Carolina.  I graduated from East Carolina University in May 2007. After graduation, I moved to Hawaii for 2 years.  I enjoyed that a lot! I have 2 children. My daughter, Cadence, is in fourth grade and my son, Nolan, is in second grade.  I also have two dogs names Ace and Mugsy.  I'm excited to introduce more Project Based Learning activities in the classroom this year.  With the assistance of our administration team and our Teaching and Learning Coach, I feel positive that your child will not only enjoy coming to school this year, but they will LOVE learning!!
