Hello! I am a first grade teacher at West Maple. I have been at West Maple, in different capacities, for six years. This will be my fifth year teaching first grade. I love teaching first grade because the students make tremendous growth academically, socially, and emotionally. Our classroom is a safe environment where students feel empowered to take chances, discover interests, and ultimately grow as lifelong learners.
