Dear Parents and 6th Grade Student,

Welcome to 6th Grade! I am looking to teaching many of you that I had in 3rd grade. This year is going to be full of many exciting experiences and many new friends for us all! I am so excited to get to know you and/or see you again!

Many of you might be curious about me because this is my 8th year at CTA Freedom. I am an Arizona native but moved away during high school. My family moved to Gilbert from Reno Nevada in 2013. I grew up in Northern Arizona. I have 4 children and 3 grandchildren. We also have a cute dog named Buster.  

Teaching is a 2^nd career for me. I earned a degree in Health Education from BYU. Shortly after graduation, I moved to Reno to work for NV Energy for almost 15 years. After having my 2 younger boys, I went back to graduate school and earned my teaching certification along with a Master’s Degree in Education. Teaching has been an amazing experience and I love to see the growth in my student’s every year.

       I can’t tell you how excited I am to by your child's teacher! Please feel free to contact me through school email (woodman.lori@cusd80.com) if you have any questions! I look forward to working with both parents and students to make this an amazing year!
