I am a wife to the love of my life, mom to four wonderful children, and the owner of one spoiled rotten doxie named Jack. I have taught Montessori for seven years and public school for four years. I am an avid reader, writer, and learner, and I love to pass that excitement on to my classroom kids. I know that when my students leave my room they may forget the things I said, or something I've taught them, but they will always remember the way I made them feel.

Teaching creates all other professions. ~Author Unknown
The mediocre teacher tells. The good teacher explains. The superior teacher demonstrates. The great teacher inspires. ~William Arthur Ward
A teacher's purpose is not to create students in his own image, but to develop students who can create their own image. ~Author Unknown
Teaching should be full of ideas instead of stuffed with facts. ~Author Unknown
Who dares to teach must never cease to learn. ~John Cotton Dana
The object of teaching a child is to enable him to get along without his teacher. ~Elbert Hubbard
