About the store
I am in my 17th year of teaching. I have experienced the thrill of teaching in a school that has gone through many changes since I began. From starting out with three third grade teachers on our team (about 75 third graders), to an amazingly challenging growth of having twelve third grade teachers (about 1800 students school wide), and back to about half that now. As if this wasn't enough excitement, I decided to teach internationally in China and Albania. It has been a ride!

These are also perfect for students who rotate classrooms. I simply wrote the absent child's name on a sticky note and attached it to the front of the folder.
There are two color options, and one option in bl

Teaching style
I try to find creative ways to enhance the lives of my students. I am organized and try to create a learning community where my students feel safe and responsible. I believe that children excel in an environment where expectations are high.
Awards & shining teacher moments

My own education history
I currently have a Masters Degree in Elementary Education with an emphasis on Curriculum and Instruction
Additional biographical information
My father's chosen career was education, so it was instilled in me at an early age that learning was important. I come from a large family where seven out of the twelve of us have also chosen education as our careers. To be a part of so many children's lives is a gift.
