Evelyn Saenz (evelynsaenz)

My passion is teaching and finding ways to teach children in fun, hands-on, creative ways. The unit studies I make on reflect my view that learning should be integrated and no skills should be taught in isolation.

I believe that each topic studied needs to be looked at through multi-sensory activities and should draw children into the excitement of learning.

As a retired teacher and homeschooling mom I believe that educational activities should invite children to explore and thirst for knowledge.

I also own a Bed and Breakfast in Vermont and I look forward to meeting each and every one of you there in the near future.
