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.
