Teaching style

I race cars in the summer for fun! I believe children need to move around and have fun while learning. This is why I use the excitement about me racing into my classroom theme. I use literacy stations and math stations during my guided reading and guided math time. I incorporate movement into the stations when possible. I also understand that teachers are responsible to teach more and more with less and less time. This is why I integrate math and literacy common core standards into one activity when possible. If you would like to see me in one of my races, click on the link below. See you in the Winner's Circle! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rq8-MFdXxBQ
