I teach first grade and LOVE it! My seven years of teaching have all been in first grade and Kindergarten! I just LOVE the little ones! I taught first grade my first year, Kindergarten for four years, and I looped with my sweet Kindergartners to bring me back to first grade in 2010.
I believe young learners learn best through hands on, real life experiences, and PLAY! I love teaching through children's literature, thematic units and connecting activities across the curriculum. Learning should be interactive and FUN for our sweet little ones! :)

My husband and I moved to Birmingham, Alabama from Atlanta, Georgia in 2008! We love life in the south! I am obsessed with cinnamon rolls, monograms, and all things PINK! I enjoy decorating my home and classroom, reading, crafting, gardening, cooking, and shopping.
