About
I am very patient with students and try to guide them towards finding the correct answer. I don't want to just tell them the answer I want them to know how to find the answer. My passion is for students to learn and I will get to know the student so that way I am able to focus in on how they learn. This will help them to get the most out of our learning sessions.
I enjoy watching students have their ah ha moment, when it finally clicks for them. I love watching them grow and see the progress they make.

My second grade class had been working hard all year so we did a camp read a lot on the last day before Spring Break. This was so much fun, a lot of prep work on my part. My students loved it, they had a blast going to the different centers and learning. Just to see them so happy, engaged and learning was worth it.
