Hi Parents, My name is Mary Johnson. I am a retired teacher with 30 years of experience. I have a BA in Early Childhood Education, a M.Ed. in Elementary Education and also additional certifications in Academically Gifted Education and Curriculum and Instruction. I LOVE to teach children. It brings me so much joy to see their eyes light up when they feel great about accomplishing a task. I am very patient and just love my profession. Both of my parents were educators so I guess it just runs in the family!
