I have been teaching for 20 years. Most of the time has been in a private school teaching kindergarten. I have been teaching first grade in a public school for four years and I absolutely love it!
I would describe myself as a hands-on learner and educator. I believe in teaching to reach all children where they are at and to foster their growth and learning to their maximum potential.
