You will find lesson plans, worksheets, and various other projects that will serve as tools in furthering my education.

I hope that this portfolio gave you a glimpse of what I am most passionate about, as well as the skills and assets that I can bring to a classroom. I am excited to continue to build upon my knowledge of teaching and eventually find myself in a classroom of my own !
