Hello. my name is Hannah Means. I am a retired teacher of grades 2 through 6. I taught for 25 years in Connecticut. During that time I participated in the State Mentoring program and the Celebration of Excellence. I also enjoyed having several student teachers in my classroom. I have always enjoyed sharing ideas and materials with other teachers. 

I used Cooperative learning and simulations in my classroom a great deal and felt that they were a very successful method of teaching. I believe that the more the children are involved in their learning, the more information they will absorb.

In this site I hope to give any interested teachers some tips that I learned the hard way. I am eager to hear from any of you who would like to write to make comments or suggestions. I would be happy to receive your e-mail,  mailto:guide@hmeans.bizland.com
