About the store
I started teaching at a private Catholic school in the Chicagoland area, and now I teach at a public school in the Nashville area. I've taught 1st grade for 19 years, and counting. First grade is my all time favorite grade, and only grade I've taught! I love to watch the growth of my students from the beginning of the school year to the end.

About the store

Experience

I started teaching at a private Catholic school in the Chicagoland area, and now I teach at a public school in the Nashville area. I've taught 1st grade for 19 years, and counting. First grade is my all time favorite grade, and only grade I've taught! I love to watch the growth of my students from the beginning of the school year to the end.

Teaching style

I love to teach with movement, songs, and chants. I feel that kids learn best when they have a special way to recall information.

My own education history

I am a graduated of Loyola University in Chicago! Go Ramblers!

Additional biographical information

I am a mother of 3 sweet kids, (2 boys and a girl). I love monkeys, (obviously) coffee, sushi, board games, spending time with my family and friends, church events, Bible study/small group, religious and country music and ALL THE CRAFTING!
