“해양 수학 3부: 덧셈으로 물보라 튀기기, 무지개를 이용해 10 만들기”

Hi, I am Theresa Purdy.  I am excited to teach about animals, science, math, language arts, kindergarten / 1st grade readiness, and conduct science and art experiments.   Photography and scrapbooking are my most passionate hobbies.  While I was my daughter's Brownie troop leader and my son's Cub Scout leader, I kept them busy with crafts, discussions, experiments and exploration.  

I received my bachelor’s degree in Elementary Education from Murray State University and a master’s degree in Elementary Education from University of Southern University.  I taught 4th grade for 14 years, preschool for 4 years and was a kindergarten assistant for 5 years. I have two sons and a daughter.

 I learn best by doing, so I want to be able to teach children facts but also give them opportunities to practice as much as possible.   Building foundational skills is essential so that children feel confident and successful as they move on to another year of school.  It is my passion to help children understand concepts, so they do not get frustrated or develop a negative attitude toward learning.   I look forward to seeing your child in my classroom!

You can find me teaching with Shooting Star Academy!
