Hello! Thanks for visiting my store. I taught first grade for eight years and have been teaching second grade since 2005. I love spending my days with my school kids and going home in the evening to my three little boys and husband. It's a busy, crazy, wonderful life!
I love teaching reading through the reader's workshop model. Reading strategy mini-lessons, guided reading groups and student conferencing are the essential parts of my reading instruction and my favorite part of the day!
