Meet Lisa & Kandie
We, Kandie Distefano & Lisa Thacker, met when we began teaching first grade together in 2003. We taught side by side for the next ten years and became the best of friends. We both share a passion for teaching and for children. We both earned Master's Degrees in Educational Leadership and then worked in Administration together for two years.
Lisa is now a 3rd grade ELA teacher and Kandie is currently teaching second grade. We started this blog to share what we've learned over the years with you. I hope you enjoy reading our blog as much as we enjoy writing it!
