Teacher expertise and credentials
I teach all subject areas for elementary age students. I have been an elementary school teacher for the last fourteen years. I have taught Third and Fourth grades. I also have experience in Kindergarten and First grades during my student teaching. I have a BS in Early Childhood Education (P-4), as well as a MS in Library Media and Informational Technology(K-12). I am currently certified in the state of Arkansas in both areas.
Learning should be an adventure! I strive to reach students using a variety of learning methods, while making lessons interesting for students. My hope is that students will want to learn more after a lesson with me.
Here is a little information about me. I'm a mother of two. I enjoy many outdoor activities, reading, writing, and playing with my pets. Make sure and ask me about some of the crazy pets I have owned!
If you have any questions about a course, or availability, please don't hesitate to ask. Thanks!
