Martha Moore - Primary Paradise: Martha Moore has always had a passion for teaching and sharing with others, even from a young age. She really enjoys being able to share her ideas and connect with other teachers through blogging. It is always her goal to create a classroom where movement, singing, and hands on learning experiences fill each day. When kids are happy and having fun, the learning is much more likely to "stick" with them! She has spent all of her teaching experience, including a year of student teaching, in first and second grade. She truly loves the amazing leaps and bounds and the unique explosion of learning that takes place during these years!
