I have been teaching for 16 years. I have taught 3rd Grade, 4th Grade, 6th Grade Math, and now 5th Grade Math and Science. I have lived in Florida for 9 years. I'm originally from Connecticut. I am married to my husband, Manny, and we have 2 boys, Felipe and Anthony. We also have 2 goldendoodles that love to play in the yard. I like to golf, go to the beach, and camp. My classroom design is meant to be structured, productive, and fun. Learning happens when students are able to manipulate objects which allows them to visualize and conceptualize new information.
