My degree is in general elementary education and I have taught across the curriculum from music to English Language Arts and Social Studies and even beginning Spanish. One great consistency I have seen is that children are definitely individuals and finding a way to teach each of them is a joy. My passion is reading since it is at the core of all curriculum. I had the privilege of training hundreds of teachers in multiple techniques of reading instruction and I use those techniques that I shared with my students.
Learning occurs everywhere and in many settings. I have taught in publics school classrooms, in homeschool classrooms, and I have tutored individuals. For me, it's all about taking a child where he or she is and moving them forward towards being a life-long learner.

Hobbies

I love spending time with my family. We go to Schlitterbahn Waterpark every summer. At home, I like to make quilts. There's a lot of math involved, so it's a good thing I paid attention when I was in school! When I'm reading, I reach for nonfiction first, but of course, being a grandmother, I get to read lots of fun stories with my grandchildren. Sometimes, I love watching a good Sci-Fi movie or action thriller! Can you believe I spent about 4 years training in a martial art? That was a challenge for me! Recently, I found a new cookie recipe. I have been baking home-bread for years and the unusual thing about that is--I mill my own flour. Life is truly an adventure and who knows what I may want to learn to do next!
