Summary


I've worked in the classroom for 30 yrs as teacher, plus the two years as a paraprofessional, and four years as a substitute teacher at the elementary level.

For the first twenty years, most of my experience was teaching GR. k-2. The last Ten years gave me experience in One Room teaching, Gr.K-8.

Although I enjoy kids of all ages, I am probably most suited for Pre-K to Second Grade.

Working as a Counselor at summer camp was enjoyable.

In the year 2011 I had the opportunity to get a pre-school up and running when the teacher called to take that position had a surgery at the beginning of the school year. I enjoyed that experience for six weeks, until she was ready to come in and take the wheel.
