I taught for 10 years before choosing to stay home with my 3 beautiful children! Our middle child, was born with Cystic Fibrosis and it was important for me to give her the best life she can! For the first three years, I taught a self contained third grade class at a very At-Risk school. For the last 7 years of my career, I taught fifth grade reading, writing and social studies. I look forward to creating more products that will help aid your teaching in the classroom.
Hands-on, minds-on learning with the integration of Common Core State Standards; learning is an interactive process. I believe that we are all life-long learners. I always try to share my passion for learning with my students and hope they are able to foster that same passion.

Our middle child, our daughter was born with Cystic Fibrosis-- she is an absolute warrior and is so blessed to have 2 loving brothers to look after her. We have one pup named Max, he's 14 years old.
