years of professional experience
Experienced teacher with a diverse number of grade levels, from pre-k to 6th grade. I email my students when they graduate and get great emails explaining how I impacted their education and lives. Connecting learning to real life is essential. Taking brain breaks specifically dances helps the students with self esteem, and connecting with each other.
I have contributed be doing before school supervision for about 20 years. This was extra work in addion to my regular duties, and allowed me to interact with students that were not in my classroom.
