About the store
Before teaching I worked for several years as a para-professional, assisting K-5th teachers. Following my role as a para I student taught in first-grade and loved it! I accepted my first teaching position as a fifth-grade teacher and, even though I've changed schools, I am happy to still be teaching fifth-grade! I have also been a middle-school track coach and a swimming coach for ages 5-18.

Teaching style

I believe students learn best when the material is varied and engaging. Incorporating technology, kinesthetic opportunities, and visual appeal are all key to ensuring engagement!
