8 years experience teaching 2nd grade 1 year experience teaching Pre-K (3, 4, and 5 year olds)
I teach with intention and I am responsive in my teaching strategies in order to challenge my students and meet their needs. I don't implement anything in my classroom just because "it's cute". Everything we do has a purpose. I believe that knowledge is grounded in experience and experience is a powerful teacher.
