TEACHING EXPERIENCE

I have four children that I have taught through every grade up to the graduation. I am also a photographer and have knowledge in creating fun and exciting images for school and my job through Photoshop. I love teaching and better yet, I love to see those faces light up when they learn a new concept.

MY TEACHING STYLE

I love to teach creativity and imagination. I think this world would be so dull and lifeless if everyone learned within the box. In my classroom I challenge my students/children to never accept the answer just because it is the answer, find out why. I want to add color to their lives, so many people live in a grayscale world. My goal is to sneak in the learning, so that they don't even know they are learning. This world has many explorations left unexplored and many expedition's never challenged. In my classroom we walk on the path less traveled, we climb the highest mountains, and we take steps on the moon, frequently. Mrs. Frizzle is my hero.

HONORS/AWARDS/SHINING TEACHER MOMENT

I am in Kappa Delta Pi Education Honors society.

MY OWN EDUCATIONAL HISTORY

I have been a 4th grade math teacher in Texas for the past 9 years and I love it!
