TEACHING EXPERIENCE

I am going into my 21th year of teaching and I am so excited about it!! I'm currently teaching 4th grade and I LOVE it! I have taught 3rd grade for 2 years, 6th grade for 11 years and now I'm in 4th grade. I am working in a school system that has an AMAZING technology department! We are 1:1 with our devices K-12 and all of my students have iPads to use in class and take home each night with them.

MY TEACHING STYLE

Have fun! If you can't have fun and show your students that you are having fun, find a new job!!
