About the store
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.

I am recently retired from full time teaching.

Teaching style
I am a visual learner, so I tend to lean towards teaching with a lot of visuals. I am structured, nurturing, and fun...I guess I should add "silly" to the list as well. Afterall, learning should be fun too!
Awards & shining teacher moments
I often received hand-written notes that proclaimed that I am the best teacher ever and the best teacher in the world. :)
