Diana has a store on Teachers Pay Teachers named Sunshine and Laughter. She has been teaching for 34 years - 15 years in 1st grade, nine years in 2nd grade, five years in 3rd grade, and five years as an ESL teacher. She is now retired and works full time on her TPT store.
When she was teaching, Diana’s favorite part was the actual teaching. She loved working with her students in small groups for a couple of reasons - to pinpoint exactly where they needed more support, and to get to know them better while building a relationship with them. Diana always tried to make her classroom a comfortable, safe space for her students. She wanted it to be engaging, but not distracting. Because she knew the importance of reading, she always had a student reading corner in her classroom even when she was a Math/Science teacher.
Diana lives in Texas and has been married for 23 years to a wonderful, supportive man and they have a sweet daughter in her last year of college. She also has a cute Yorkie named Bentley. Her absolute favorite thing to do is to travel to the beach, and her family goes as much as they can. Growing up, her family always took vacations to the beach, and she thinks that's where her love of sun, water and waves first began. When Diana is at the beach, she feels at peace, and she finds the sound of the waves exceptionally calming.
