TEACHING EXPERIENCE

WE LOVE to sing! We create SINGABLES that connect Early Literacy learning with singable text. ALL our singables are sung to familar tunes like "Ity Bitsy Spider", "Mary Had a Little Lamb", Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star" etc.. Our students remember more and enjoy learning through music. Jackie has been teaching for 36 years and still LOVES it! She has been a Special Education teacher, taught Grades 1, 3 & 4 and is now in Kindergarten- her favorite grade! She was a mentor teacher and an Early Literacy coach. Kylene has taught for 33 years and was a Early Childhood teacher, Reading Specialist, a multi-age and 1st grade teacher before becoming an elementary principal. She was also an Early Literacy coach. Their collaboration started as first grade teachers when they discovered they both loved creating children's songs and curriculum activities for literacy and math! Together they have taught at the university level for Teacher extension classes in Early Literacy. They have presented many times at Reading and Kindergarten conferences and workshops.
