Summary
I have been teaching for over 25 years, all of which have been at Tushka Public School. I started my career as a floater teacher in the lower elementary. This allowed me to see many different grade levels. I started my career in 1st grade, then moving a grade lower to Kindergarten. Next, I moved up to second grade, and then on to third grade. After a few years in the lower grades, I was no longer a floater teacher, and in 2007 I became the 5th-8th grade middle school Spelling and Humanities teacher for many years. In 2013, I began teaching 6th - 8th ELA Reading where I have remained to present.
