TEACHING EXPERIENCE

I am currently an adjunct professor teaching preservice elementary educators. I spent eight years teaching in 2nd grade. I have previously taught Kindergarten for one year and 1st grade for four years. Second grade has my heart! I love teaching with technology. I am a Google Certified educator, a Class Dojo mentor, and a Seesaw ambassador. I am also a model literacy teacher for my school district.

MY TEACHING STYLE

My style is always evolving. I love using games to teach and reinforce concepts. I fully believe that learning should be fun! I love using technology in my lessons to enhance the content and to modify the content and products.
