About the store
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!

One of my favorite units to teach in math is geometry. It is highly engaging and always holds student interest. If you are in need of supplemental geometry materials, these student created books are for you! Students are to use their imaginations to turn ordinary shapes into something creative. Example: A circle is just a circle until you add a face and body parts, then it is a person! A rectangle is just a rectangle until you add water and people, then it is a swimming pool! There are t

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! ;-)
