About the store

Experience

I taught 3rd grade in Pennsylvania at a private school for 5 years. Then 3rd and 4th grades in a Colorado public school until having children. Stayed home as a mom for 14 years while subbing K-6. Currently teaching Gifted and Talented from Kindergarten through 6th grade.

Teaching style

I like to have fun! I love to let the students direct their learning. If we follow a tangent to learn something new, it's a great day.

Awards & shining teacher moments

I'd love to be nominated ;)

My own education history

Received Bachelor of Arts in Education through Cedarville University in Ohio. Several classes toward Masters but every day is a day to learn something new!

Additional biographical information

I am married to a wonderful husband since 2000. We added two daughters in 2005 and 2008. We just added a golden retriever puppy. When not teaching or mommying, I write the Character Club Series which is middle grade fiction to inspire strong moral character.
