Hydrangea Blue

I've taught 13 years on K and 1st grade in Georgia and Alabama. My experience is in public and private education. I have been a Director of Student Services where I aided students in grades K-12th grade with various needs. Reading intervention was the main focus. I have also been Teacher of the Year THREE times! I also have been named District Teacher of the Year in one of those schools. I was recognized through the University of Alabama for lesson plan submission by the Office of Research on Teaching in the Disciplines. I have taught art classes to kindergarten through 5th grade, including special needs classes. I have also taught PE classes for my grade level. I have co-coached K5- 2nd grades and 3rd-6th grade cheer squads. I also co-coached 2nd - 4th graders basketball. Those all were interesting! I have served on various teams. I have served on the committees to plan and execute various school events and the Rigorous Curriculum Design team. I have also been trained in the Daily Five reading program and the AMSTI science program. I have written and shared both kindergarten and first grade basic curriculums based on the Open Court and Saxon Math programs. I have also collaborated with fellow lower school and middle school teachers to plan, organize, and carry out cross curricular /student led instruction I prepared and presented a successful presentation at the 2022 AISA Annual Conference. That was nerve racking to say the least! haha
