I guess my special talents would be singing, playing the piano, and cooking. I love doing all three, but I get to practice singing the most...in my car, at school, and at church. I don't get to do a whole lot of cooking or playing the piano because of my busy schedule, but I really enjoy doing both.

Volleyball

This year I also have gotten the privilege of coaching the 5th and 6th grade volleyball team. It has been such a fun and wonderful time. I have really great players who are a lot of fun to be around. So, I am so glad that I have gotten to know some students through volleyball that I might not otherwise gotten to know. So, thanks to all of my volleyball players and parents! :)
To my fifth grade students: I love you all so much, and I am so excited to have all of you in my class. You are such a fun bunch of kids and I am so happy to be able to spend the school year with you having fun (and working of course)! :)
