elementary (k-6th)
I love working with children. I have worked with children at church and in the public. I want learning to be a fun process. I have worked in the Public Schools with ReadFresno to improve in their reading, and when reading improves all of the other subjects improve as well. I have also a volunteer tutor with Fresno Unified School District, helping children to learn in their reading as well. I was employed for a short time with Cullinan Education Center working on phonics, blending, spelling and reading. My students in all of these areas improved.
I look forward to helping you progress in your subjects at the elementary level.
general computer
I have had a computer since 1998, and recently purchased a notebook this year. When I originally bought my computer, I took adult classes at Clovis Adult School. Received certification for Windows 95, Word and Excel. On my last job I learned about Access.
phonics
I have had the opportunity to work for Cullinan Education Center working especially with phonics. The children showing them the letters or combination of letters would give me the sounds, then I would give the sounds. I would also teach new sounds as well so the student would learn more words. I loved doing this because I get excited in helping children succeed in their subject.
flute
I have been a flute player for over 40 years. I did not major in music, and I am not a professional, I am considered an amateur. But I do love to play the flute. I started when I was in grammar school, continued with it through college. After college joined various community groups.
