I am extremely excited to be part of the Hampshire Elementary family! I grew up in St. Charles the 3^rd of 4 kids and received a Bachelor's degree in Elementary Education from The University of Montana where I student taught in kindergarten. I cannot wait to get to know each student and to see each one grow throughout the year. In kindergarten there will be a variety of interactive and hands on experiences for each child to grow individually. They will learn about responsibility, respect, sharing, and patience while developing important social skills and communicating with others. Every day in kindergarten each child will be encouraged to do their best to reach their highest potential! I am eager for the year to unfold!!
