They love to learn through music and hands on experiences. I find that teaching through song and active learning brings joy to both the children and the teacher.

Experience

I have taught Kindergarten and first grade for 20 years. I have worked in four different schools with many students over the years and I have found they have many things in common. They love to learn through music and hands on experiences. I find that teaching through song and active learning brings joy to both the children and the teacher.

Teaching style

I believe children are a gift from God. "But Jesus said, Let the little children come to me..." Matthew 19:14. I love to watch children learn and explore. Kids learn best through engagement and I try to honor that!
