As a third grade public elementary school teacher in Colorado Springs I love learning and I'm determined to communicate that passion to my students. This is my eighth year as a teacher. As a Certified Academic Language Practitioner, I work intensively with those students in my classroom for whom reading is a particular challenge, while making every effort to remain focused on the whole child. It is my hope that Edmodo will be a great tool in my toolkit for engaging learners in discovering the joys of learning!
