I have a Bachelor of Science in Human Development and a Master of Arts in Teaching from Howard University. After graduation I taught one year in 2nd grade before moving to join the kindergarten team for 5 years. I decided to leave the classroom when my first son was born but my passion for teaching and learning have never dissipated. I now homeschool both of my sons, ages 6 and 9 and have taught multiple online classes since 2020. 
Homework Offered
I will provide at least one page of practice surrounding the focus for the day. These pages are not a requirement, and will not be graded for the class, but can serve as reinforcement of your child's learning.
