About the store
I have been teaching for 11 years. I began my teaching career teaching at American International Schools in Venezuela and Colombia. I lived in South America for 4 years. Afterwards, I moved back to New York. For my first two years in New York I taught 1st garde in a charter school in a low-income area of Brooklyn. I am now currently teaching at the elementary school that I attended as a kid out on Long Island! I have my undergrad degree in childhood education and ENL. I also have a minor in, and speak, Spanish. My master's degree is in literacy education (b-6). I am certified in NY for early childhood, childhood, literacy and ENL.
