HI everyone, my name is Sarah Hess.  I've been an educator for 20 years.  Snack and Recess is a passion project.  I'm determined to create a joyful, engaging, small-group setting where kids and teacher can reclaim their love of learning, and I'd love for you to join me.
Here's a glimpse into my classroom.  Pictures of students reading, working with science lab artifacts, making for trees, and building.
Here's a glimpse into the principal's office.  Pictures of presentations about Embedding MLL Strategies into core instruction, group presentations for students, and shelves of books.
A Quick Background:  Based out of Providence, RI; I've worked at public, private, and charter schools from preschool to college; my roles have included teacher, principal, literacy coach, instructional coach, professor, and tutor.
My education includes a BA in psychology from Wellesley College, an MAT in elementary education from Roger Williams University, and an MED in educational leadership from Rhode Island College.
Fun facts: I love psychology.  Teacher wellness matters. It doesn't have to feel like this -- there is another way .
Things I love: my family, paddle boarding, coffee, being outdoors in nature, and my puppies!
Looking forward to working with everyone.  Email at snackandrecess@gmail.com
