Thank you so much for making this awesome powerpoint! I teach in a private school (middle school level) where our supplies are limited and out textbooks do not provide enough information on the West Expansion. This is PERFECT for reviewing and gaining more insight that my students can understand. I love the map diagrams that show how the US is growing!

TEACHING EXPERIENCE
I've spent the past 2 decades teaching in the elementary grades. I've taught kindergarten through 4th, multi-age rooms & self-contained and been a History teacher in 5th-8th grades.
MY TEACHING STYLE
I'm a bit of an ecclectic teacher. I've seen a lot of new "fads" & theories come down the pike since I started my career. Some have been great and others a total bust. I've tried to learn a little something from each and incorporate the best parts in to what I do in the classroom. I love to challenge my students and watch them succeed in ways they didn't expect. I believe in keeping a good sense of humor in the room too. After all, learning can be great fun.
