TEACHING EXPERIENCE

We are two teachers that have a combined 42 years of real classroom teaching experience. We teach in the great Central Valley of California, and have spent our many years in public education.

MY TEACHING STYLE

We are two teachers who believe that children learn best when they are able to explore, and discover things with the direction of a well planned teacher!

HONORS/AWARDS/SHINING TEACHER MOMENT

We have both held many honors over the years, from teachers of the month, Disney Hand Award nominees, and BP teachers of the year, but we are most proud of what we do each and every day in our classrooms!

MY OWN EDUCATIONAL HISTORY

BA in Psychology BS in Industrial Technology and a Masters Degree in Educational Administration

ADDITIONAL BIOGRAPHICAL INFORMATION

We are both moms who spend out time shuttling children to football practice, and swim meets! We work way too many hours, but can't help it- because we love what we do!
