I'm in my 23nd year of teaching. I taught kindergarten for ten years and the past 13 have been in first grade.
First graders are full of excitement and wonder, so I try to draw off that enthusiasm in my classroom. The best is when learning is so fun, they don't even realize they're learning!

When I'm not in the classroom I love to read, hike, go camping, and ski. ___________________________________________________________________________ Thank you to Paula Kim and Creative Clips for the clipart used in my logo and banners.
