Hello and welcome to my classroom; I am so excited to meet you! Since I was little, I have always had a passion for learning, and I always knew that I wanted to be a teacher. I began my teaching career by working as a paraeducator, working with students on math and reading skills in a small group setting. I loved my job, but eventually moved on to teach kindergarten for three and a half years. After having our first son, I decided to become a stay-at-home mom. Awhile after having our second son, I started to miss teaching, and wanted to get back into it somehow. So, I started working as an online ESL teacher, and I have been doing that for almost two years now. This job showed me how great the online teaching environment can be and helped me develop skills that I can bring into my classroom. 

Being a mom of two little boys, and a former kindergarten teacher, I have a lot of experience in working with younger students, and you will find that most of my classes are geared toward those ages. As a teacher, I will focus on the foundational skills that are necessary in your child's learning as they continue to grow as learners. In my classroom you will find a lot of classes that focus on early math skills like color recognition, sorting, making patterns, addition, and subtraction. I will also be offering classes that focus on early reading skills that are foundational for your child to develop as a reader. These skills include letter names, letter sounds, rhyming words, and blending. 

I believe that learning should be fun, and I will do my best to ensure your child has fun while learning in my classes. I think that parent and teacher communication is very important in a child's learning as well, and as your child's teacher I will communicate your child's successes after each class.
