I am a primary school grades 1-2 looping teacher. I've had various education jobs throughout my 34 years in education; my most recent being a looping teacher. I love looping because I am able to teach without missing a beat! Although my students are young, they are very adept in technology, forcing me to stay current and move forward. We are constantly sharing and learning together!!!
