TEACHING EXPERIENCE

While I have experience teaching K-4th and 6th-8th grades, my heart is with kindergarten. I have spent most of my teaching career in a kindergarten classroom, and whenever my career leads me elsewhere, I always find my way back to my true love: K!

MY TEACHING STYLE

I am a self-proclaimed lifelong learner. My desire to foster a lifelong love of learning is the driving force behind my teaching. I love wondering and discovering with my students and relish each of them as the unique individuals they are! I strive to achieve engagement with all of my students by taking advantage of cross-curricular ties and using a thematic approach. I see all my students' abilities (academic, social & emotional) as being set upon a spectrum, and my goal is to move them forward wherever they may be. That's why many of my products offer opportunity for differentiation and are grouped by theme.
