Welcome to Room 18! I am so excited to start the new school year. I have two new teammates and 34 new students to work with this year!
I thought I'd start with sharing a little bit about me. I was born and raised in California and have lived here my entire life. I would like to stay abroad for a month or two to experience life elsewhere. But for now I enjoy being in Southern California mostly because my family is near. I have a large extended family, and we enjoy getting together. These gatherings can be crowded and A LOT of work, but we all chip in and bring something. I always look forward to my cousin's Spam Musubi and my uncle's short rib spaghetti. Recently, we celebrated a new addition to the Lee (my maiden name) side of the family with a red egg and ginger party. Aside from spending time with my family, I like to pursue several hobbies. In my spare time, my husband and I enjoy golfing. I'm okay at the game, but I really enjoy the scenery. I also like to cook and bake -- skills I acquired from my mother who I think makes the best dishes! One of her specialties are steamed buns. The dough is so soft and delicate -- it's like biting into a cloud. It's a family favorite. But most of all, out of all my interests, I love to travel! I enjoy learning about different cultures and their respective histories. This summer, my husband and I visited Italy and the ancient cities of Florence, Milan, Venice, and Rome. I can't decide which was my favorite ... the impressive cathedrals, the memorable pieces of art, the awe-inspiring ruins, or the silky smooth gelato. And we added an additional trip up the West Coast to Oregon and Washington to ... (you guessed it) play some golf. Finally, my professional life ... after earning a Bachelor of Science degree in Child Development at CSUF, I continued my education at UC Irvine where I received my teaching credential. I also obtained a masters degree a few years later from National University. My crowning achievement in the workplace, however, is being an educator at Quail Summit. I absolutely love it here! The teachers and staff are outstanding, and the students, parents, and community have always been very supportive. It feels like I have a second family. I believe Quail Summit exemplifies a "School with a Heart." I know you will enjoy 5th grade, and I look forward to another fabulous year! |
