About the store

Experience

This is my 14th year of teaching and I am passionate about the primary grades. I have taught K-2, and am currently living and loving the Kindergarten life!

Teaching style

As a primary teacher I get to spend each day growing thoughtful leaders. I am a firm believer that my role is to guide, encourage, and expect amazing things from my little learners. Kindergarten is where it starts! That's a big job to fill, but I couldn't imagine spending my days doing anything else. As educators we are shaping the future. My students know that their character is what matters the most! Through excitement, encouragement, and high expectations I try to pass on my LOVE of learning and create smiles inside our classroom every day!
