TEACHING EXPERIENCE

Hello! My name is Vicki Thompson and I am a Lower Elementary Montessori teacher. I have spent the last 8 years working at a Montessori Charter School in Northwest Indiana. During that time I have taught Pre-K and Kindergarten, Lower Elementary and Middle School. The resources you will find in my TpT store I have created and used in many different classroom settings. I hope they will save you some time and energy - two things a teacher can never have enough of.

MY TEACHING STYLE

Montessori All the Way!
