I am a Tucson native where I live with my husband and our two children. For fun we love to go camping and to the beach when we can. We love animals and have 2 large dogs, 10 chickens, and a school of fish.
Teaching is my way of giving back to my community. I love helping children grow and succeed both academically and socially. I believe that all children are born to learn, sometimes we just have to figure out how to teach them! Children learn when they are interested so I try to use innovative, and fun methods to teach the basics in a way that will leave a positive impression on my students. Families are so important to the learning process so I always try to welcome my families into the classroom and be a part of the learning.

Letting your child choose a game for family game night will help pique their interest and get them excited to learn! Many games are available for young children.

Ben's Bells - Changing the world through kindness.

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
Ben's Bells are colorful ceramic ornaments hung in communities throughout the world as symbols of kindness for people to find and take home. Thousands of volunteers visit our studios and help us make Bells each year. By the time each Bell is hung, many hands have had a part in its journey, and it represents the efforts of an entire community coming together to make one person's day a little kinder.
But that's not all we do!
Ben's Bells educates communities about the skills we need to make kindness part of our daily lives. Kindness is a skill set that can be learned, and a series of small actions practiced regularly makes a larger impact than a single random act. Our programs are designed to help us understand the human brain so we can develop our awareness and compassion - both for ourselves and others.

A great way for children to get involved in their community is to volunteer to help the elderly. Raking up your neighbor's leaves in their yard, making cards for a local retirement home, or delivering meals with your family to an elderly neighbor in need are great ways to teach empathy and compassion for your community.
