About the store

Experience

Current first grade classroom teacher loving structured literacy, viewing children from a strength-based perspective and carefully designing student and teacher-friendly resources for deep learning...former Reading Specialist, University Instructor and Freelance Literacy Consultant...but my heart is in the classroom. I'm also a wife and mom to two terrific, spunky, quirky and awesome kids and one amazingly cuddly dog.

Teaching style

Deeply committed to learning and growing together in a predictable, structured, fun, creative environment that celebrates, honors, appreciates and includes every individual.

Awards & shining teacher moments

Working with kids is reward enough for me, yet I'm not going to lie that having a former first grader become my student teacher all those years later was pretty incredible!

My own education history

Bachelor's Degree from University of WI-Madison; Master's Degree from University of WI-Milwaukee

Additional biographical information

Most of my decades-long career has been in first grade. First graders are the best!
