I taught first grade for 30 years, and recently retired to work on writing children's books, provide professional development for teachers, and work on my TPT store!
I try to create a classroom environment where everyone feels safe and welcome, and where every child feels like they are THE BEST OF THE BEST!!! I truly believe laughter is the best medicine, and movement is the key to learning when you are little...so...we giggle and wiggle...ALOT in first grade!
