I have 34 years of teaching in kindergarten. The first half of my career I taught half-time kindergarten which was like teaching pre-school today. The second part of my career was full- time kindergarten. Full-time kindergarten was fulfilling, because I was able to teach reading and became very successful at it. The most challenging and fulfilling part of my career.
I use a multi-sensory approach to teaching where the children are exploring through their sense of touch, sight, listening, hearing and moving through activities in stations.
