Mommy, wife, teacher. I've been teaching in Montessori schools in three states, public (Title I) and private, for 20 years. I've taught every age from 3 years old to 5th grade. (Currently 5th, for the past four years) I love being in the trenches and no one could ever tell me that this isn't what I'm meant to do! Perfect? Far from, but these littles melt my heart.
