First

Hello 1st Grade Portuguese, I am so happy to be teaching here at Majestic Fields Elementary! I graduated from Dixie State University with a Bachelor's in Elementary Education and an endorsement in ESL. I've taught 1st & 2nd Grade, but 1st Grade Dual Immersion is my happiest place. Reading & writing are my absolute favorite things to do & teach! I love how they open the world to our stories and our imaginations. When I am not in the classroom you can usually find me singing to the radio, taking dance classes, reading a good book or swimming at the beach! Every year I look forward to getting to know new students and finding each and every student's motivation and excitement to learn. We can do hard things!
