Teaching to kindergarteners is a wonderful age group.  I have been in-district for over 15 years and have taught in grades K-5.  My Master's degree is in Elementary Education and my teaching passions include small group work, collaboration, discovery and FUN! I have training in Orton-Gillingham and enjoy helping new readers and writers learn to put sounds and letters together.  I also have an experiential background in STEAM at an early elementary level.  Balancing my academic rigor with the development of the whole child is always a top priority for me.  It is important to me that children get to move, communicate, and play as they learn.  Most of all, my room is full of smiles and kindness.
