TEACHING EXPERIENCE

I've taught Pre-K, Kindergarten and 1st grade in a Title I school for several years. I create my materials to suit the needs of my students - to challenge my high achievers and support those that need more practice in a skill. I also create for my early childhood colleagues - to fill needs in their classrooms!

MY TEACHING STYLE

Hands on learning and exploration through play!
