TEACHING EXPERIENCE

I am in my 8th year of teaching. I spent 4 years teaching Kindergarten and this is my fourth year in 1st grade. I am in the process of earning my Masters in Educational Technology and Leadership and I am also ESOL certified.

MY TEACHING STYLE

I believe that children do best when they can be excited about learning! I try my best to include as many engaging, hands-on experiences as I can. I firmly believe that in order for my students to grow into life long learners, they have to find out what sparks their interest and get excited!
