I have taught various grades with kindergarten and 6th being my favorites. Gifted kids are a close third as they always challenged me to be a better teacher.

About the store

Experience

This is my 22nd year of teaching at the same elementary I actually attended as a child! I met my very best friend of over 30 years there as well and can't imagine teaching anywhere else. I have taught various grades with kindergarten and 6th being my favorites. Gifted kids are a close third as they always challenged me to be a better teacher. I have always loved kids and have known from my earliest memories that I wanted to be a teacher!

Teaching style

Kids are capable of more than we know! I hold high expectations and feel kids learn by doing. I make learning meaningful through the passion and dedication I devote to my students. Love and logic has always been the kind of style used in my classroom. I believe in choice with structure and routine!

My own education history

Although I never enjoyed the academic side of school growing up, sports led me to college where I played basketball and soccer. I now hold a Master's degree and hope to further my education when I have a little more time on my hands! ;-)
