| Interests | I am a public school teacher. I have been teaching 12 years (3 years in first grade and 9 years in kindergarten), am a certified Reading Specialist, ESL teacher and also hold a Gifted and Talented endorsement. I love collaborating with other educators to find creative ways to reach students. I also enjoy presenting to educators and administrators (at the district and state levels) and finding innovative ways to propel student learning, while integrating technology and the fine arts with the core disciplines. Wonder and Spark was created as a resource for educators and parents who are looking to capitalize on a child’s natural wonder about our world and with that wonder, spark a desire to learn. Remember, with every interaction, we have an opportunity to turn a child’s curiosity and imagination into a tool for knowledge acquisition! I hope you will find this site useful and it inspires you to seek out the best methods for reaching your students/children.
