About the store
I have been teaching for more years than I can count! I've taught 2nd, 3rd, 4th, and 5th, general education classes. I also have a masters in special education. I work with a lot of technology in the classroom, and I am part of a district team to figure out how to make the common core work. I'll be adding updating the SMARTnotebook files to the latest edition as soon as I have a few minutes. This year has been off to a crazy/busy start, and I'll be adding new things as soon as I am able!
