TEACHING EXPERIENCE

I am a certified EC-4th Bilingual teacher and I have been teaching since 2000. I started off as a Reading teacher for 1st grade students teaching "Success For All". It was fun in first...but a position for a Pre-K class opened up so I took it and loved it! I then transferred to a school closer to my home and took a Kindergarten class and I knew that's where I had to be! I LOVE Kindergarten! Hurricane Ike flooded us out of our school and I was placed in 2nd grade for 3 years at another campus. I was okay in 2nd grade but the opportunity to go back to Kinder arrived and I took it. I am back where I need to be and loving it!! Update**** I am back in Second Grade in a different district. I LOVE IT! I teach a dual language class. Many ideas for products are in my head after this year at my new school.... :)
