    MY FAMILY
     
    Mr. Patterson and I have two children-Alyssa and Adam, and Max, our newest addition to the family (our dog). We live in Portage.  My family enjoys doing things outdoors-camping, fishing, hiking, and canoeing. I am blessed to come from a large family. I have four brothers (one younger than me) and two younger sisters. I grew up in northwest Indiana and have always enjoyed spending time at the Dunes National Lakeshore.
     
    MY TEACHING 
     This will be my seventh year at Joan Martin. I am excited about teaching 2nd grade and enjoy the discovery and exploration aspects of this age group. I look forward to the new school year and can't wait to meet my new class. See you soon!
