I am a Kindergarten teacher and founder of The Kindergarten Connection and The Letters of Literacy. I am passionate about early childhood education and literacy, and love to connect with other educators!
I am very passionate about creating independent learners, even in our youngest students. I am a fan and supporter of systems such as Cafe and The Daily 5 by the two sisters and actively use their ideas in my classroom. I come from a family of teachers and my mother taught Montessori for many years, so I have traits in that area as well. My students are often found in many different areas of the room working on a variety of tasks at their level. I love watching students grow and become responsible for their learning!
