All About Miss Larkin

    I have a great family who I love dearly. I am the youngest of six children. I have three wonderful sisters and two great brothers. I was born in Cache Valley where I lived for seven years. My dad was then transferred in his job and we moved to North Ogden.

     Through my growing up years I loved to watch and play sports. Ice hockey and NASCAR are my two favorite sports. I also like volleyball, soccer, basketball, baseball, and football. I have been fortunate enough to be able to attend four NASCAR races; three at Vegas Motor Speedway and one at Daytona (which, given a chance, I would love to go again – it was awesome).  I hope to one day make it to my favorite track – Talladega. I have also been able to attend many Avalanche hockey game.

  

     I have many hobbies. Among them, reading and scrap booking are two of my favorite. I love to read. Reading opens doors to many new worlds and adventures. Some of my favorite books are: the FableHaven series, the Percy Jackson series, the Ranger’s Apprentice series, the Harry Potter series, the Kane series, and The Heroes of Olympus series.

     I enjoy teaching kindergarten. I can’t think of a grade that I would love to teach more. The students’ energy and excitement for learning makes every day worthwhile. This is my 12th year of teaching kindergarten. Before I started teaching kindergarten, I worked in the Weber School District at West Haven Elementary as a Special Education Preschool Aide. I graduated from Weber High School and continued my educational experience at Weber State University where I graduated with a Bachelor of Science Degree in Communication with an emphasis in Electronic Media. Though I loved the broadcast field, it was not where I was meant to be.  So I returned to school to further my education at the University of Phoenix where I received my Master’s Degree in Elementary Education K-8.
