Welcome to Mrs. Laugtug's classroom.  This will be my sixth year teaching fifth grade, but my eighth year teaching for Temecula Unified.  I am looking forward to making new discoveries, exploring different challenges and building a classroom that is fun and supportive for all my students.  

I was born and raised in California and I am the oldest THREE!  I have a younger sister, Andrea and a younger brother, Steven.  I graduated from Cal State San Bernardino with a Bachelor's in Criminal Justice.  I also graduated from the University of LaVerne and the University of Redlands, received two master's degrees.  My first is in Academic Counseling and my second is in Teaching and Learning. I also hold a Pupil Personnel Services credential and a Multi-Subject credential.  

I am married to a wonderful man, Kris, who is an Engineer/Paramedic/Firefighter at Camp Pendleton Fire Department.  We have been married for 17 years and have two beautiful, crazy sons, Kohen and Austin.  All three boys keep me on my toes all the time.  I enjoy reading, hiking, camping, running, and spending as much time as I can with the loves of my life.  

I can't wait for an awesome year!  Go Flyers!!
