About Me
italki teacher since Jan 28, 2012Interest topicPets & AnimalsReadingArt
I have been teaching for over 35 years, 29 of those years have been in an elementary school where I am presently teaching. I love teaching and have enjoyed seeing my pupils smile and see a light in their eyes. What a joy and privilege! I work with the American Phonics system and have been trained in the Barton Reading and Spelling System.Me as a Teacher
Taking walks, working outside in my yard, reading books, looking at animals - these are some of my favorite things. I really like giraffes and the color purple.My lessons & teaching style
I like to include in my lessons a conversation, identification of different objects or images plus some reading material. I do my best to reduce the Teacher Talking Time as much as possible.My teaching material
