I am looking forward to helping your child develop a well-written paragraph. I have taught in the classroom for over 12 years and also worked as an elementary school librarian for 4 years. I enjoy making learning fun and work to engage students in the learning process. My enthusiastic personality and ability to connect with all learners helps to create a positive learning environment. Providing opportunities for student voice and choice gives them ownership over their work. Additionally, with my Master's in Reading as well as my National Board Certification, I am always implementing best practices and literacy to my teaching!  This is a great class to build the foundations for writing as a good paragraph can be applied to all subject areas.
