15 years in the 1st grade classroom has given me a lot of great memories and intense experience. I enjoy almost every minute of it! :) What a blessing it is to have a job you love.
I love discovery teaching! I love when the students explore, and EUREKA....they have discovered/learned something new. Not all curriculum lends itself to that, so I try to create interesting material to keep them engaged.
Nationally Board Certified! I receive intense, ongoing cooperative learning training. I work at a Kagan Cooperative Learning School and I know of no other way to teach. Rows of desks are foreign to me (except for my high school years).
