TEACHING EXPERIENCE

I have spent 6 wonderful years as a teacher, in 2nd and 3rd grade.

MY TEACHING STYLE

My main goal is to foster a genuine, on-going love of learning. I am soft spoken (thank goodness for those necklace microphones!) and not afraid to sit on the floor. My favorite part of the school day is read-aloud!

HONORS/AWARDS/SHINING TEACHER MOMENT

You are the best teacher ever. Thank you for helping me read. Love, Sarah
