The Reading Nook

I taught full time for a total of 8 years in fifth and sixth grades with experience as a parapro and substitute in all elementary and middle grades before that. I also taught in my church preschool class for almost ten years. My love of teaching started out when I was a little girl in a large family. I was always the teacher, teaching my younger siblings everything I had learned at school! I'm now homeschooling my 4th, 2nd, and kindergarten children and getting the experience of a lifetime.

I try to make everything relevant, student-centered, creative and fun!

One of my shining teacher moments was when a parent told me her daughter did a complete 180 and from hating school, she ended up absolutely loving 5th grade!

Bachelor of Science in Elementary Education, Gifted Certified

After many years of teaching other children, I am grateful to be able to stay at home with my own children and encourage a love of learning in them. Homeschooling three different ages is definitely quite different than being in a classroom with children in the same grade.
