I’m an elementary teacher with 20+ years of experience. I currently teach kindergarten at a small rural Title 1 elementary. I earned my bachelors degree in elementary education and a kindergarten endorsement from Marian College (now University) over 25 years ago. I recently earned my master’s degree in elementary education with a focus on literacy.  I’m a mom to three grown sons and wife to my high school best friend. I am a proud grandmother of one sweet child also. I am a dog lover and my dog, Birdie is the most spoiled resident at my home. I love teaching my littles how to think and have fun while learning.  I enjoy making resources for my students that promote critical thinking, a love of learning and growth mindset. Teaching is hard work and I want to help you lessen the stress by sharing my researched based resources to help make the planning process less time consuming so you can enjoy teaching again, spend more time with your families and keep you informed on the latest topics.
