TEACHING EXPERIENCE

I have been teaching 3rd, 4th, or 5th grade in Southern New Jersey for the past 20 years - and am still loving every bit of it! The age group is fantastic. The children still love teddy bears, but now have also added twisters and tarantulas to their list!

MY TEACHING STYLE

Constructivist. Constructivist. Constructivist. In addition, I also take pains to transport my students beyond the normal and traditional into worlds of the weird, unique, and fantastic - that is is to say, of course, somewhere over the rainbow!
