I am currently teaching 2nd grade and love it! This is my 30th year teaching and I have spent almost equal time teaching in 1st, 2nd and 3rd grades.I can honestly say, I love them all! I taught 23 years in a Title 1 school, and the past six years teaching the English side of 2nd grade to children in a Portuguese Immersion program at my school. This next year I will be back to teaching a traditional 2nd grade classroom of children. I love integrating the arts into my teaching. I also love creating materials and sharing them with others! I joined TpT back in 2011 and have loved every moment of this journey. Thank you for following me! If there is anything I can make for you, please let me know.
