My name is Buffi, and I am a 5th grade teacher. I have raised and homeschooled 2 children of my own. Children have been a part of my life since the age of 12. I specialized in special education/early childhood education in college. Besides homeschooling my own special needs child, I have worked with all age groups over the years in professional settings from infant care to 5th grade. I have experience with special needs families. My own son has cerebral palsy. I am a storyteller/performer in my spare time and volunteer with Ronald McDonald House and Give Kids the World. I personally believe that learning should be fun, and much can be learned through play and music. I'm grandma age, have a heart for children, and a lot of miles left in me.
