Ms. Corinne
I began teaching ten years ago and I can honestly say there is nothing in the world I would rather do for my career. I am addicted to the infectious smiles and laughter of children, the thrill of watching a student learn a new concept that excites them, and the entire experience of growth and learning that happens throughout a school year. I am thrilled to be a part of the Chrysalis family, and I am working hard to expand my knowledge of nature and field study.
Education...I grew up in Shasta County, attended Anderson High School, Shasta College, and Humboldt State University! I have taught Preschool, Transitional Kindergarten, Kindergarten, art, music theory, and drama in the years since I graduated. I LOVE teaching kindergarten!! It is a very exciting time with so many amazing discoveries.
Favorite Stuff...I LOVE to bike, hike, and camp with my family, and I dance with a traveling Belly Dance Troupe, Mi Amore. I love to read and learn, and have three or four books started at all times. I have recently begun birding, and I am excited to continue to hone my birding skills in the field! I am also learning Italian and can't wait to visit the boot again.
Other cool trivia...I collect PEZ dispensers and silly socks, sew most of my own clothes, watch Wheel of Fortune every night (or tape it), and if I could, I would move to Hawaii and snorkel every day!

This is my second year helping in Ms. Corinne's classroom. I am having such a good time getting to know all of the students and watching them learn so many wonderful things! Learning is one of my favorite things and I love seeing others have those Aha! moments. I learn lots of things from books and I enjoy collecting books, lots of them! Books are like friends to me. I like seeing them sitting around in my home or waiting in stacks to be read!
My most favorite thing to do is travel. When I see pictures in books or on my computer of beautiful places, I begin to plan a trip. I want to go and see these places for myself. I write journals as I travel and takes tons of photographs. This way I can re-live my trips over and over again.
Another thing I enjoy is Kayaking. When my family has a quiet weekend we often go to the lake and kayak together. I love how peaceful it is and how much you can see when you move slowly through the water. I especially enjoy sharing these special times with my three grandchildren.
