Then, I explored 1st grade in my dream district for two years, have taught K/1 and 1/2 combination classes, was a literacy consultant for 3 years, and now work at Green River Regional Education Cooperative as a Professional Learning Specialist.

MY TEACHING STYLE

With 30 iPads and 30 kiddos in each of my classes, technology and hands-on learning rule! Everyday I teach 3 classes of reading, 1 class of writing, and 1 class of Reading Intervention.
