I taught school for 27 years! The majority of that time was spent in First and Second Grades! Seeing the joy in a child's eyes when he "reads" for the first time is priceless! I love teaching and can't imagine doing anything else!!
I believe in a balance of basics and authentic learning experiences and use lots of Hands-on activities in my classroom.
