Class Description:
I am teaching reading, writing, and math to students of all ability levels. Our school has two paraprofessionalsshared K-8. This year I will be working with 26 students.
Position:
Third Grade Instructor
Needs:
We are always looking for ways to put the latest technology into the hands of our students. The rapid pace of technological development is constantly a drain and challenge on our small school...
My Philosophy:
If the students need it - I get it. Each year, my husband jokingly asks if I have spent my salary yet. I want their learning experiences to be fun and exciting. To me, nothing is more exciting than new technology.

Why Do I Teach?:
I loved school! I love the look on a student's face when they realize they have just learned how to do something new, or they did something they never could before. I love the challenge of finding just the right way to get an idea across to each of my students. I love that I get to introduce them to new technology by using it in my classroom. I love getting to play with kids all day!
