TEACHING EXPERIENCE

This is my 20th year teaching elementary in sunny Southern California! My experiences have ranged from 2nd - 5th grade. Upper elementary is definitely my passion! I love the rigor of the standards, the sense of humor of kids at this age level, and watching each student grow into a mini adult throughout the year. :)

MY TEACHING STYLE

I enjoy hands-on and project based learning! I love activities that go in depth and help kids apply their knowledge to the world around them. I feel it is so important to help kids make meaningful connections to their learning. I love making lessons that include creativity and embrace the various modalities of learning.
