I have taught elementary grades for 18 years, middle school math for 2 years, and am teaching Math 1, 2, and 3 in High School.
I am laid back. I enjoy watching the learning take place. My room is usually not quiet... There is usually a buzz of learning within my room. My philosophy is based around what one of my college professors said to me in class one day. -The person doing the work, is the person learning. Are you the one up and talking and showing or are your children the ones up and doing?
I am honored just get to know and love the kids I teach. I am awarded with lots and lots of hugs and smiles!
I graduated from high school with honors and from ECU Summa Cum Laude. Math is my concentration. I earned my Master's in mathematics curriculum and instruction.
I am a Mom! I love it! I have two teen boys that keep me on my toes!
