I've been teaching for 32 years.  I've taught all grade levels during that time except for 3rd grade.  I am currently back teaching second grade for the third time during my 32 years.  I love this age!  They have such a thirst for learning and are a joy to be around. Teaching is my life!  I'm an avid reader and lifelong learner.  I'm a graduate of Chapman College and have been a master teacher and facilitator.  This year during distance learning has been a year of growth and has shown me that yes, you can teach old dog new tricks.  I am so proud of the effort and growth that both my students and their families have shown this year.
