About the store
Since entering kindergarten at not quite five I wanted to be a teacher. I love learning and watching people learn. While raising three grown children I have taught preschool, first, fourth, sixth, seventh, and eighth grades, ten years of speech/language special education 6-12, Sunday school, and vacation Bible school. Last year I spent 10 days in Poland teaching ESL and Bible studies.

Creative and self discovery is my aim but I also like to know "why" about life so I incorporate that in my lessons.

What I enjoy most is taking children to a creek or museum and watching their eyes light up. Reading, gathering ideas, modifying mine, and sharing a good book runs second.
