Certification

Early Childhood Education

Multi-Cultural Heritage Instruction

I thoroughly enjoy teaching children about other cultures through the use of world maps, videos, clothing, dance, and teaching greetings in other languages specifically Swahili, Yoruba and Irish Gaelic. I also have the students create the flag of each country we study and when possible taste food from that country
