About the Author

I am a teaching professional and I have been involved in implementing several new programs into the school curriculum. I use alternative lessons that include a series of hands-on activities, worksheets; and interactive games getting the students up and active. The activities are fun and educational promoting individual thinking through problem solving and exploration. Most of the activities can be used at any grade level and they are multi-disciplinary. Each lesson is created to encourage cooperation, problem solving, and decision making. Over the years I have had numerous opportunities to try new programs and make the necessary adjustments or changes in order to make an activity that is fun and challenging. I am always interested in new challenges and because of this I try to bring this same enthusiasm for adventure to the classroom.
