TEACHING EXPERIENCE

Together we have been teaching for nearly fifty years and we're still learning! Now we're ready to dive in to the murky, uncharted waters of the new Common Core. We are looking forward to exploring new ideas and finding valuable treasures. We have taught grades first through sixth. Martha has taught in a dual language class for 16 years.

MY TEACHING STYLE

Our classrooms are student centered/facilitators. We believe students need to be actively involved in their learning and that no two children learn in the same way.
