About the store
I have taught at the elementary level for more than 20 years in a high needs area. Students love you for being their rock and depend on you because their needs are great. But that also means that they are still children who are curious, excitable, and love learning.
I am currently teaching kindergarten but I've also taught first, third, fourth, and fifth. I love the joy found in teaching the littles. I also enjoy creating learning tools and games for my students because the joy of teaching is seeing them need you less.
