I love school. I have a BS degree in Elementary Education from the University of MO, St. Louis. I have a MAT (Master of Arts in Teaching) from Webster University. Then, I went back to UMSL for my EdS (Education Specialist) degree. So, I'm certified to teach elementary 1-8, Social Studies 5-8, and Gifted K-12. I loved taking the classes and I love helping others to master the classes.
When my children were still at home, I had a day care center in a portion of my home, taking care of special needs children there. After I finished my degree(s), I taught elementary school in a regular classroom, then taught gifted classes to third through eighth graders, taught remedial reading, and then moved up to a position in the central office as a curriculum supervisor.
I'm very experienced in helping students with organization skills and building their confidence.
My favorite activities in my free-time are sewing, quilting, reading, hiking, biking, and traveling. Last winter I visited Cabos San Lucas in Mexico and in the fall, I went north to Alaska. Both trips were AWESOME!!
