5th Grade

You may remember me as Ms. Middleton, I recently got married and have changed my name. After teaching second grade at Lincoln for the last three years I am thrilled to be in 5th grade with your students!

I grew up in Northern California before moving to Illinois to attend Illinois State University (Go Redbirds!) where I graduated with my B.S. in Elementary Education in 2020.

I student taught at Lincoln and loved Peoria so much I decided to make Illinois my permanent home. I have taught 4th, 2nd, and now 5th grade.

I live in Peoria County with my husband, our husky Zeus, two cats Dahlia & Sage, and our ball python Butters.

My favorite part about Peoria is being close to the river and the amazing restaurants, though I do miss In-n-out.
