I've been teaching for 30 years.  These last 7 years in kindergarten have been my favorite years in my career.  I love the 5 and 6 year old mindset.  They are always eager to do their best work and love their friends.  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.  I'm an avid follower of many teacher leaders on social media and have a goal of one day creating my own website titled Kinderbythesea.
