~ FIRST FRIDAY ~
WELCOME BACK!
First Friday:
Hello! Welcome to our High
Ability (HA) blog! This is our weekly blog that will allow you to peek inside
our classroom to see what exciting things the children our learning throughout
the year. A weekly email will be sent
when the blog is ready to view for the week.
My goal will be to have it ready for you every Friday. You will be able to access the blog from a
link at the bottom of the email or from Yost’s homepage under classrooms.
Our weekly schedule will be
Mondays and Tuesdays Language Arts (LA) and Wednesdays and Thursdays Math.
If your child qualified for both, I will see them all four days! On
Fridays, I'll meet with the other HA Instructors to share lesson plans for the
upcoming week which means no classes on that day.
High ability will meet twice a week during flex time for a half an hour each day. Flex time is a time set aside at Yost per grade level for students to receive more intensified instruction. Your child's teacher and I will keep an open line of communication to make sure their needs are being met in both locations.

I have been training with
the other HA instructors at liberty for the past few weeks. I am very excited to meeting the students on
Monday and Wednesday and getting started with our classes!
Looking forward to an...
INCREDIBLE YEAR
Get to Know Me: I was born and raised in Michigan City, Indiana
and currently still live in the area. I
am a graduate from Michigan City High School.
I originally attended Ivy Tech Community College for Hospitality
Management. During that time, I
participated in the Walt Disney College Program. This was an amazing experience where I
learned many skills I utilize still to this day. I have completed two years of Early Childhood
Education and will be continuing my course work online this year.
My drive to want to pursue my education comes from working
in the school systems since 2011. I
started off working with MCAS as a guest teacher in spring of 2011. I was offered an instructional assistant
position in the fall of 2011. As an
instructional assistant I worked with K-6 students instructing small reading
groups. This will be my first year
joining Duneland School Corporation and the HA team. I am looking forward to a new challenge this
year and meeting all my new students.
I am a mom to two wonderful children! I have a daughter in 7th grade and
son in 2nd grade. My children
keep me on my toes and running in many different directions. My daughter is active in running, swimming
and voice. My son will be starting his
second season in swimming. They joined
the Duneland Swim Club last season, so you may see me in my spare time in the
bleachers at the pool! My daughter
participates in voice and musicals with Premier Performance also in
Chesterton. I am quickly becoming
familiar with the area as we are here 6 days a week!
A secret of mine I will share with you is I love all things
DISNEY! My family and I take a yearly
trip to visit the Mouse every summer! This
family time is something I look forward to and treasure every year. My love for Disney and planning our trips has
even opened a new road for me in planning trips for other families. I just started this adventure this past year
and love sharing my love for Disney with other families and help them create
these memories with their families.
A hobby of mine I have enjoyed since 2004 is coaching
volleyball! I was an assistant varsity and
JV coach in North Judson, Indiana from 2004 to 2008. I also coached club volleyball since 2004 for
Dunes Volleyball Club. I have coached
many different age groups from 12’s to 17’s.
A fun fact about coaching is my teams would travel down to Orlando,
Florida every June for Nationals.
Please feel free to email
me with any questions or concerns.
Looking forward to a great year!
