Known for her creativity, Kim teaches the
curriculum in innovative and inspiring ways. Her classroom has been
transformed into a beach, Mt. Olympus, a poetry coffeehouse, and a
mountain retreat. Her students have experienced thunderstorms, an
Italian restaurant, a hospital emergency room, a colonial village, and
life on a fictitious planet without ever leaving the classroom! She has
held a Fashion Extravaganza to teach descriptive writing and has
created Survivor tribal challenges and the All-Star Punctuation Bowl to
teach grammar. Kim often teaches concepts through songs, kinesthetic
games, and unique teaching strategies that motivate even the most
restless learners. Her students consistently score among the highest in
the state on standardized tests; she has proven that the required
curriculum can be taught in a way that reinforces academic rigor while
making learning an adventure.
