About
Hi friends!
I live on the east coast of the United States for now. My favorite hobby is traveling. It's unusual, but my home has wheels! My family and travel in an RV to explore all we can around the... country. I have also lived in Europe and love to experience, as well as learn from, different cultures.
My four kids were all homeschooled and are doing well as young adults in their chosen paths. I love animals. Bats are interesting because of the way they find food and use echolocation. Elephants have empathy and other characteristics we attribute as human traits! What's your favorite animal? Let's talk about why!
My goal with each lesson is to provide a fun learning environment where students forget they are in class. Many of my students have been laughing and learning with me for over 5 years, now!
I want to understand your individual learning style and what makes you laugh!
See you in class!read more
