Sheri Jones re: SCOOPS OF FUN - ICE CREAM UNIT
I wasn't able to open your preview on my MacBook Pro. Really wanted to see what was in this unit. When I clicked on it to open it, it says it uses a file type that is blocked from opening in this version. When I go to Open on the File menu, like it says to do, it still won't open. Hmmmm

Many people with Macbooks have had problems opening preview files. I know this because I have one work I and I have difficulties at work with some files. I never have issues at home on my Windows Surface. I will try uploading the file again this evening for you. Try again tomorrow. Thanks Jo Ellyn

I love the contraction bingo. However, I have 18 in my class.
Could you make 7 more cards or send me a blank so I can make them?
Thanks,

* I want to use this on Wednesday, May 22. (The last day of our school year)

TEACHING EXPERIENCE

I currently teach First Grade. I have taught both general education and special education students in Birth to Three programs, Three to Six programs, Head Start, Four-Year-old Kindergarten and Five-Year-Old Kindergarten. I have experience teaching at all elementary grade levels. I was an assistant manager at a teacher supply store and a Child Care director.

MY TEACHING STYLE

I like to provide high interest, experiential activities for my students. I enjoy creative activities that spark imaginations and provide hands - on learning expereiences. I provide an atmosphere where students can learn to inquire, ask questions, and make discoveries.
