MRS. HARVEY'S BIO

 

 I began my teaching career with the 1989-90 school year at Rolling Hills in Rancho Penasquitos.  My first teaching assignment was a 5th grade class, but that changed the first three weeks of school ... I have taught 2nd, 3rd, 2/3 multiage, 4th and 5th grades.

Now at Monterey Ridge in the 4S Ranch community of San Diego, I had the privilege of opening this brand new, beautiful school in August 2006 as a member of the fourth grade team. 

I have been married for 35 years and have two grown sons ~ ages 29 and 24.  I also have three miniature dachshunds ~ Dixie and Trixie, and our new baby - Tanner, whom the students hear many stories about.

Students always want to know how old I am?  I tell them, "I was here when the dinosaurs walked the earth."  You can do the math ~ I was born in 1952.

I am a huge Chargers and Padres fan and enjoy watching both teams play.  My other favorite "free time" activities are knitting, making beaded jewelry, "playing" on the computer, reading, and shopping.
