TEACHING EXPERIENCE

I have taught TK, Kinder and 1st for 16 years!

MY TEACHING STYLE

I love to make learning in my classroom fun, engaging, hands on and of course challenging. I think learning can be and should be both developmental and rigorous. We can have high expectations and challenge our kids without taking out the fun. I also believe that we teach the "whole" child which means that we are not only shaping their minds but their hearts as well.
