TEACHING EXPERIENCE

This is my tenth year of teaching, and I've taught in three states. I've spent my entire career in kindergarten. I love the way kindergartners light up and get excited about learning. They inspire me every day!

MY TEACHING STYLE

I love hands-on, partner/group work to facilitate social growth and inquiry skills. I believe that all children, regardless of ability level, have something to give, so I try to provide an environment where all children feel comfortable expressing themselves. I also include play in every aspect of our learning day as I can!
