Mrs. Perry

I am so excited to be at Legend Springs teaching EL to our amazing students!  They are going to learn so much this year!

Here is a little about me. I grew up in Connecticut and graduated from college at the University Of Connecticut, earning my Masters in Education with an emphasis in Reading. Soon after graduation, I moved to Arizona with my family to try a new adventure. I taught 1st grade and received my reading specialist endorsement and SEI endorsement. Later, I became a Learning Network teacher, where I went into model lessons for new teachers and teach reading groups. That moved me into becoming a program specialist in the district.  I continued modeling and working with teachers to set up class learning centers and modeled reading lessons.  I missed working in my own classroom so went back into 1st Grade, moved into 2nd grade, and am now working with EL students.   I am passionate about teaching children and truly enjoy seeing them grow to become confident learners!

I met my husband here in Arizona and we have two wonderful children! My daughter is in her third year at San Diego State University and is becoming a nurse.  My son is working on becoming a commercial pilot and just graduated from Ridge last year.   During our free time, we love to travel.  Our favorite is visiting the beach in California and being near the ocean!
