About the store
I have varied experiences in teaching and working with children of all ages. From volunteering at local summer camps to working at an after-school program where I was the STEAM program specialist, I have done it all. I have recently finished my credentialing program and am now in my first teaching position in a fourth grade classroom! Education is my passion and I believe all teachers should be able to slay while they educate!!
P.S. I am still learning along with the students I teach so any pointers or tips on my lessons or activities would be greatly appreciated!! Thank you!! Hugs!
