About the store
I taught gifted and talented students for 30 years in Shelby County Schools and retired in May of 2017. During that time,I found myself teaching in a variety of schools in different grade levels and subject matters, which is how I became a department store.
After retiring, I taught fifth grade Language Arts and Social Studies in a private school for two years. I did some subbing and gave ghost tours downtown for Historical Haunts in Memphis.
I am also an author who has been published in AppleSeeds Magazine, which is a part of the Cricket family and have many home written close read stories in my store.

Experience
I taught gifted and talented students for 30 years in Shelby County Schools and retired in May of 2017. During that time,I found myself teaching in a variety of schools in different grade levels and subject matters, which is how I became a department store.
After retiring, I taught fifth grade Language Arts and Social Studies in a private school for two years. I did some subbing and gave ghost tours downtown for Historical Haunts in Memphis.
I am also an author who has been published in AppleSeeds Magazine, which is a part of the Cricket family and have many home written close read stories in my store.
Teaching style
I enjoy making and presenting lessons via Promethean Board flipcharts and have quite a few homemade charts, which I have transferred to PowerPoint. I always aim for higher level thinking and questioning as needed for gifted and talented kids; however, many resource teachers purchase my resources due to the clear lesson plans required from the various schools I taught at.

•I have always loved dogs and have been volunteering at Memphis Animal Services to save these beautiful fur babies from the high kill rate shelter.
