I have been teaching for 12 years. I started out teaching Pre-K, then moved to 1st grade, then taught 4th grade math and I now currently teach 3rd grade math. . I think teaching in a variety of grade levels has made me a better teacher. It helps to see what the world is like in other grades. I LOVE 3rd grade math. Math is all around us in the world and it's fun to teach my students real life ways to do math.
