I have over 30 years of teaching experience (Yikes! How did that happen?). I was fortunate enough to secure my first teaching position right out of college, at the same elementary school that I attended. There I taught both first grade and kindergarten. After a six-year intermission to stay home with my children, I was hired at a local elementary school in my new home-state of New Hampshire, where I taught 2nd grade, 3rd grade, and was a Reading and Writing Specialist. I am recently retired from full time teaching.
