3rd grade teacher 2006-2012, Kindergarten teacher 2012-present
I am an advocate of teaching visually and kinesthetically. I believe that modeling is crucial for setting expectations for children to learn. In spite of the high stakes testing movement and data driven decision making, I always try to remember that kids are kids! What can I do for them today so that they go home with a smile on their face?
