I have been lucky to teach in Blaine County for 23 years with 22 of those years in the first grade. I enjoy seeing first graders learn to read and love books as much as I do!  I graduated from Idaho State University long ago.  Go Bengals!  I live south of Bellevue on a small farm with my husband, my two sons (when they are home), two dogs, and usually at least a few horses and goats.  My sons are currently attending college at Boise State University and the University of Minnesota Morris.  In my free time, I enjoy hiking, walking my dogs, reading and farming.
