I have been teaching at the elementary level for three years. I started as a substitute, and then became a long term substitute for a third grade class for about two-thirds of a school year. I already had a bachelors degree and decided this was something I was interested in, and got my credentials to teach Kindergarten-sixth grade. I have been teaching second grade for the past two years. I love being such a substantial part of these kids lives, and helping them through their education journey. I have seen so many kids go from non-readers to above grade level readers! It is magical to see!
