Currently I am a gifted specialist at a school in my district. But I have over 20 years of teaching experience in grades PreK-6th grade. Most of my teaching experience is in grades K-3. I believe in creating TpT products that I have actually used in the classroom. Unlike so many other sellers, you won't find products here that are created just to sell. Everything I've created in my store, I have actually successfully used in my classroom. Remember the days of TpT when it was like that? When you could actually find a product that was created by a teacher teaching that grade level? Ah, the good old days when TpT hadn't become this huge commercial entity....
Hands-on Minds-on Standards Based
The best teaching moments for me are times when a student who has been struggling with something finally reaches that A-Ha moment and you can see the pride and confidence in their faces!
I graduated from Arizona State University (Go Sun Devils!) I have an ESL Endorsement, a Reading Endorsement,and an Early Childhood Endorsement.
Blah, blah, blah- does anyone even read these???
