I have completed 27 years of teaching at the elementary level. Most years I have taught first grade and I have also taught 2nd and kindergarten. I also taught preschool for several years before I became a credentialed teacher and I homeschooled two of my three children for a few years.
I'm always trying to learn along with my students. I also believe that school should be fun & I try to incorporate fun/enjoyment into as much as I can in my teaching.
Teacher of the Year for my school district 2019-2020.
* Bachelor of Science in Child Development CSUF * Liberal Studies Waver CSUB & CSUF * Multiple Subjects Credential University of LaVerne * Crosscultural, Language and Academic Development (CLAD)
I have been married for 43 years! We have 3 adult children & 5 grandchildren. I am a follower of Christ. TPT has changed my way of teaching. I am so happy I found TpT!
