Hello there! I have been teacher since 1997 and am looking forward to a new role as a Prenda guide/facilitator. I have taught all grades between first grade and eighth grade, with a focus on the upper elementary grades. I believe that children need positive role models who exhibit curiosity and enthusiasm, and are also fair, firm, friendly, and fun. My minor at university was science, so I hope to encourage the love and respect of nature, asking questions, problem-solving, and discovering how things in our amazing universe work. I also hope to share my love of books of all genres to your child, so they can develop and nurture a lifetime appreciation of knowledge. Hope to meet you soon!
