TEACHING EXPERIENCE

I'm a 4th-year teacher in Dayton, Ohio. Although I have little experience, I have a big heart and wide eyes, and I am ready to take on the vast and amazing experiences that may come to me as a result of teaching the fabulous fourth grade!

MY TEACHING STYLE

I love to use games and movement in my classroom! I especially enjoy sorts, group activities with stations and task cards, and activities that involve drama in some way.
