TEACHING EXPERIENCE

Most of my 23 years in education have been in both 1st and 3rd grades. However, I have also had experience with a 1-2nd combination classroom and 5th grade students. I'm currently back in 1st Grade and loving it! I truly believe I work with the greatest people in the world! I can't imagine working anyplace else!

MY TEACHING STYLE

All students deserve to feel important, worthwhile, and respected for their individuality. In my classroom I strive to create an environment where all my students feel safe enough to take risks, sometimes fail, learn from their mistakes, and above all never stop believing they can achieve.
