Teacher Spotlight of the Week-Mrs. Heaton, First Grade

Submitted by sherri.peterson on

I was born and raised in Gilbert, Arizona and am the oldest of four children. I graduated from BYU with my Bachelor's degree in Early Childhood Education. I love teaching young children because they are so curious and excited about learning. I especially love teaching my sweet 1st graders how to read because it opens so many doors. In my free time, I love hiking, going to the gym, reading, playing games with my family, and spending time with my husband. I am so grateful to teach at Spanish Oaks!
