In addition, I teach ukulele lessons to primary students. I have written, performed, and directed numerous plays, musical performances, and poetry recitals.

MY TEACHING STYLE

Music, movement, humor and fun!

HONORS/AWARDS/SHINING TEACHER MOMENT

ADDITIONAL BIOGRAPHICAL INFORMATION

After 20 years as a landscaping business owner, I hung up my rake and joined the honored ranks of primary grade teachers. Now in my 20th year teaching second grade, I count myself blessed to work in this wonderful profession with some of the finest colleagues and students there are. It's fun sharing what I've learned and discovering new ideas to add to my toolkit here on TPT!
