About the store

I am a Nationally Board Certified Mid-Level Generalist and have been a teacher for 20+ years. I have always taught the sixth grade and just LOVE them! Prior to teaching I worked in the health insurance industry as a Marketing Representative. I love integrating technology into the curriculum as much as possible. My blog: yoursmarticles.com focuses on strategies for technology integration. Through conferences, seminars and training sessions I share my experience with other teachers as much as possible!
