About the store
I am entering my thirteenth year as a teacher. I spent my first five years teaching in Tampa, Florida, but we had the opportunity to move back to the St. Louis area in 2018. I have taught everything from kindergarten through eighth grade, but I have specialized in literacy since my third year when I began teaching departmentalized English Language Arts. Recognizing my passion, I specialized even further by becoming a Reading Specialist.
