Teaching style
- Organized
- Clear & concise
- Routine-oriented
- Always done with love!
In my classroom we laugh, cry, smile, learn, give hugs, work hard, try new things, make new friends, dream about the future, & build an amazing community together.
My own education history
I received my Bachelor of Arts in Elementary Education in 2017 and my Master of Arts in Elementary Education with a concentration in Differentiated Instruction in 2023. I am also a "teacher influencer" and my main platform is Instagram @always.upper.elementary :)
Additional biographical information
I have always taught upper elementary, which is how "Always Upper Elementary" came to be! Upper elementary students are sassy and want to be independent, but at the same time they are still just kids! They are passionate, emotional, quirky, creative, and downright hilarious! Upper elementary students dream about their futures, and as their teacher, I am all about encouraging my students to follow their dreams! There are SO many reasons why I love this age group!
