I taught kindergarten for 12 years and have been teaching transitional kindergarten for the past 3 years. Before my early education years, I taught 7th grade science at the middle school level for 6 years. I have spent many years teaching math and reading intervention classes as well as workshops for gifted students.
I try to keep sight of the "big" picture. My main goal is to instill a love of life long learning in my students.My belief is that learning should be fun and exciting. I absolutely love working with the youngest elementary age students. It is incredible to see the amount of growth that occurs over the first year of school. It is like watching caterpillars change into amazing butterflies. I feel blessed to be a part of this process in my students lives.
