Class experience

My excitement about American symbols began with travels to Washington, DC. I loved stepping onto the exact spot Martin Luther King Jr. stood for his iconic I Have a Dream speech on the steps of the Lincoln Memorial. Walking through the White House thrilled me as I imagined the historic individuals who had walked its halls. I have enthusiastically taught many first graders about Washington, DC through books, music, and plays. I'm so excited to share American symbols with Outschool students!

My master's degree in special education focused on teaching deaf students. I taught deaf students for more than 10 years, and for part of my career, I was an educational interpreter. I care deeply about the Deaf Community and strive to stay true to American Sign Language in my teaching.
