TEACHING EXPERIENCE

A graduate from Anderson University, I'm a fourth year teacher at one of the top elementary schools in South Carolina. Located in Spartanburg, I spend Monday through Friday learning (playing) with my fourth graders! This is my first year in fourth grade. The past three years I taught fifth grade in Greenville, SC. I loved every minute of my experience with fifth graders! I completed my student teaching in fifth grade, but have also done practicums in first, third and fourth grades.

MY TEACHING STYLE

Hands-on, interactive and creative lessons are a must! Who says learning can't be structured AND cute?
