I am a public school teacher and have taught second, third, fifth, sixth, and seventh grades. Second is where I am currently teaching and it is by far my favorite!!!
I believe that all students can and want to learn! In order to learn students need to be engaged and participate in lessons. My materials encourage student engagement, participation and collaboration. I believe that collaboration is one of the keys to student success and complete understanding.
Making it through each year and seeing the amazing growth in each student is a reward in itself. Creating materials that encourage student learning is the biggest reward of all.
BA in elementary education; social studies and language arts endorsements.
