About the store
I have had 3 different student teaching experiences, 2 different college school experiences, but only 1 dream. I want to give students the modern touch of the education I received as a child. I did my student teaching at 2 different private schools, and one public school. I also currently am a student support staff member for a SPED classroom. I also have been volunteering (14 years), babysitting (10 years), nannying (1 year), and student support (6 months) with children for a while, and I know I have lots more to learn. Join me in my quest for informative, and creative ways to help your students enjoy the classroom again.
