About the store
I began my teaching career in a 6th grade classroom half way through the school year. I then taught fourth grade for two years, first grade for three years, and am currently teaching kindergarten. At my previous school, I was the k-2 math lead and wrote the first grade math curriculum. Last year I was the Education Specialist at my current school, but I missed the classroom too much. I high-tailed it right back in as soon as I could :)

Teaching style
I am a very hands on learner and teacher. Everything I put in front of my students is something they can interact with and learn from. I teach at a project based school, which means everything we do is inquiry based.
Awards & shining teacher moments
I published my first paper this year and have traveled around the country sharing my work at educational conferences.
