I have currently been teaching for 10 years. I have taught in public, private, and now am at a charter school. I am currently working as Kindergarten teacher. I do LOVE watching my students get the joy of reading. I have a beautiful, energetic almost 5 year old girl and am married to a teacher. I love Disney, scrapbooking, making hairbows, and anything crafty.
