Hummingbird Educational Resources

Peggy Drake - owner and Educational Consultant

My name is Peggy Drake and I am a mother of 2 children and have recently retired from 17 years of teaching young children and elementary age children. I have worn many hats in my teaching career: taught tap, ballet, jazz, gymnastics, preschool (3 yr olds), elementary P.E., and pre - K. I have written and illustrated 3 curriculum books plus over 50 interactive big books. To learn more about the curriculum books, interactive big books, and stepping chants click here: Hummingbird Educational Resources Catalog.

In addition I present at many conferences nationwide. Topics are Literacy - Make It Easy, Math Works!, Jumpin', Jivin', Jitterbuggin' Curriculum (music to enhance your curriculum), Storytelling in a Literature Rich Classroom, Literacy + Math = The Works!, Make and Take It Literacy and Math Centers, and Simply Science.

The next time you attend an Educational Conference  - look for me! We'll have a great time!

I am proud to be a member of the award winning Texas Lovin' Cloggers.  We are a grand champion precision dance team. Please visit our site and see why we are champions.

In my free time I enjoy spending time with my children and husband, playing on my computer, and SLEEPING!
