I teach 6th grade in a self-contained classroom (in a suburb of Los
Angeles, CA). With thirty years in the profession, I still feel passionate
about teaching. Other passions: technology, history, reading, films.
I am the proud mom of a son and daughter (both in college).

I am a 4th grade teacher in Westlake Village, California. I have been
teaching for 20 years. I am married and have 2 sons. I especially enjoy
teaching math, social studies and music. I love when former students come
back to tell me about a special memory they had while in my classroom. My
goal for the future is to become as proficient with technology as my 11
year old son!

I am a long-time fifth grade teacher in Mountain View, California,
which is on the peninsula between San Francisco and San Jose.
American History is my particular passion in teaching, and I hope
that my students feel this and find the same excitement in learning
about our country's past. I have presented workshops about teaching
colonial history to teachers locally and statewide. Part of four
recent summers has been spent at the Colonial Williamsburg Institute
for Teachers, first as a participant and then as lead teacher for
other teacher groups. I still enjoy a connection with The Colonial Williamsburg
Foundation, writing lessons and units for teachers.

I am a 3rd grade teacher in Westlake Village, California. I was a
reading specialist before going back into the classroom. I enjoy sewing
and other artistic pursuits. I really enjoy developing projects for
students to go along with the curriculum.
