About the store
I have taught 16 years at the middle school level, 11 of these with 8th graders. This year will be my seventh at the elementary level. After one year teaching Gifted, I-STEM, and SPED in an elementary school, I switched back to working with SPED students full time. This year I'm also partnering with another teacher for a Mini Economy® after-school group.
