I am a veteran teacher of 20+ years including two years overseas. While the majority of my teaching experience has been in first grade, I also have experience teaching second grade and pre-k.
I believe children should be engaged in active learning. When children are given choices and freedom to have fun learning, they will take a greater ownership in their learning.
National Board Certified Teacher, 2004 - Early Childhood Generalist Group Study Exchange Team Member to Turkey - Rotary Foundation Award promoting vocational study, leadership development, and international understanding.
B.S.E. in Elementary Education/Early Childhood Education from Ouachita Baptist University. M.S.E. in Education, Theory and Practice from Arkansas State University.
I enjoy creating curriculum, lesson plans and hands on activities. I love creating learning resources and seeing the excitement on children's faces when presented with fun engaging materials.
