I love teaching Kindergarten. People often say it's a "special" grade to teach, I guess that's why I especially love it. I have been blessed with a career in teaching for 15 years, with the latter 8 years teaching in Southern California. Most of my experience has been in Kindergarten...12 years. My work is my passion, I constantly design, test, and re-develop learning tools for my students.
My teaching style is based on every student's preferred learning style. I feel that my teaching is constantly evolving to meet the needs of every student in my class. I utilize direct explicit instruction and constructed response during lessons to maximize each learner's academic success.
