I was the kid who played school on the weekends and summer so I was destined to be a teacher. I love teaching and have taught everything from preschool to 4th grade.

Welcome To My Website!
I love working with teachers, almost as much as I love working with kids! I have worked with teachers in large and small groups in 40 states and counting. As I travel I am reminded how we teachers are so alike, no matter where we are teaching- rural or urban, socio-economics, climate, or culture. Most of us want to place a lo-jack on our stapler since we lose it once a day, the best lesson we deliver may have been one that was never planned, we work double hard the day before any break begins, and we all have at least one student who likes slipping his or her arms out of the sleeves and into the body of the shirt, leaving the sleeves to dangle. Most of all, we have entered the teaching profession because we truly want kids to love learning, do well, and feel successful. We are in the unique position to deal with the future every day.
I hope this site will help you, my teacher friends, create engaging lessons and activities to make learning meaningful and fun. I truly believe that any activity that is entertaining and engaging will result in better understanding.
