About the store
I have been an educator for the past 17 years and have experience in a variety of grade levels. I began my teaching career as a K-5 Spanish teacher, then taught 4th grade for 7 years, 2nd grade for 5 years and currently teach Kinderdgarent. I have worked with 2-3 year olds at various summer camps. Other than teaching, I am the Technology Facilitator within my building and the school's Webmaster. I am currently a Union Representative and work on the Testing Objectives Committee. I have run the school newspaper club, Safety Patrol/Student Council and on Extended Day; which is an extended day geared to assist children of varied performance levels.
I also run workshops in my district on The Daily 5, C.A.F.E., Whole Brain Teaching and technology sites and materials.

Teaching style
I believe that the students are the ones who need to control their learning in order for it to make sense and mean something to them. I do my best to be a coach to my students and guide them during their exploration. I use many hands-on activities and make learning a real experience. I encourage my students to ask questions, think beyond the text and explore the world around them. I enjoy teaching my students in this manner because many times, I am also one who walks away with a new view, thought or question. And learning is a lifelong journey.
