Teacher of the Year

I worked as an Early Childhood (Head Start Teacher) During this time my classroom was a Montessori Classroom. I attended training in Chicago, Illinois, when I arrived back to Shreveport, I applied what I learned at the academy. The parents trusted me enough to know their children would learn. My students became very independent, parents were pleased. I witnessed how the students became focused on what was introduced to them. Children were able to prepare their plates from the serving boards, I am very proud of the students, they are excelling in this world.
