Kelly P.
Kelly's Program
My name is Kelly Plorin and I'm from Fort Worth, Texas. I've been in education for the last 7 years where I've taught 1st grade for one year and 2nd grade for 6 years. I have spent my summer holidays traveling as much as possible and finally decided it was time to make teaching and traveling collide.
