Creating a Conundrum

Hi Families! I have a bachelor's degree in early childhood education and have been a certified early childhood educator of 20 years! I also have a master's degree in educational technology. I have a passion for early literacy and building community with class meetings. I love Disney and LEGOs. I enjoy making learning fun through hands on and active learning. I enjoy tying literacy to other modalities of learning like art or STEM.  I feel like learning should be fun for all stakeholders. During the day I can be found teaching and learning with pre-k students. I enjoy spending one month in the summer working with students selected to attend a Summer Reading Camp. I have spent time tutoring students in the areas of math and reading to build confidence and foundational skill base. Arts and STEM are my passion so I try to incorporate that into as many lessons as I can. I enjoy activities and  games that build confidence and speaking skills, encourage discussion, problem solving, and creative thinking.  The classes I teach include many of the things I believe students enjoy and need for the future. My classes are fun and engaging and often involve a final piece of art or something to share and talk about. When I am not teaching I love playing tennis and dancing. I am a huge Disney and LEGO Fan. My favorite color is pink and I love going on cruises. That is my favorite way to vacation. I love the South Carolina Gamecocks, coffee shops, and shopping on amazon. I look forward to teaching and working with you. If you decide to participate in one of my classes please consider leaving a review. I enjoy feedback because it helps me grow and I am always looking for ways to improve as a learner myself!
