Pokemon: Gotta Organize 'Em All!

Hello learners and grown ups! My name is Sara. I have a husband, a ten-year-old son and two little fluffy dogs.  We share a love of Pokemon, nature, fossils, camping and geocaching. Having fun and going on adventures are some of our favorite things.     In my alone time, I like to watch some of my favorite TV shows, craft and bake.. 

I earned a BS in Psychology from Mt. St. Joseph University and after graduation I worked as counselor and as a program director teaching motor skill development. One day I decided something was missing and that I wanted to do more.  I went to Montessori school as a child and felt a strong need to pursue it professionally.  I enrolled at Xavier University, received my M. Ed. with a focus on Montessori Education and taught children ages 3-9 years in Montessori classrooms.  A few years after teaching I had my son and became a stay at home mom before heading back to the classroom. I have taught in Montessori environments for a total of about eight years.

My classes are fun, energetic and full of personal experiences and stories, something that kids absolutely love. They also very much influenced by the Montessori philosophy whenever possible.  I believe in a holistic approach to education and that children learn best by doing.  I like to laugh, am very expressive and am so excited to share what I love!
