Formerly known here as "THE HAPPY KINDERGARTEN TEACHER" I am a retired elementary school teacher of 29 years. My classroom was "My Happy Place" and creating content for little learners still is. I love learning and I love to teach little ones to learn. My passion is creating a curriculum for my students. I love to put engaging materials in hand that inspire learning.
I believe in a differentiated approach in order to meet the needs of all my students. I love hands on learning and watching students have fun learning. Since retirement and caregiving for my parents... it is my hopes to begin to create more content and share some of what i used in my classroom as well.
National Board Certified Teacher, Masters in Early Childhood Education
I received both my bachelor and graduate degrees from Mississippi State University. I am a bulldog at heart. I later received my National Board Certification and Mentoring Program through the University of Mississippi.
I have been married for 30 years and have two sons that are my life. I retired from the classroom after 29.5 years to become a fulltime caregiver for my parents. I still love creating and hope I can do more of that now that I am home.
