About the store
I have been teaching various students, various subjects, at various levels (preschool to college) for the last ten years. During those ten years, I have completed two masters programs, American Studies and Reading Education, my P.hD. in Curriculum and Instruction, with a focus on Urban Literacy, and have received the honor of becoming National Board Certified. I am currently certified in Reading K-12, language arts 6-8, social studies 6-8 and family and consumer studies.
I may not always know what I am talking about but I try to find people who do. All the ideas I put on this site are research based and work to help your students become authentically motivated to succeed. Any corrections are always appreciated, ideas are solicited, and compliments are greatly rewarded.

Science Bingo
This activity is geared toward upper middle school students. It can be used as preparation or review for the science EOG. This set includes 30 SINGO boards, a call sheet and letter tiles. As the caller, pick a letter title and then pick a word from the call sheet. We suggest cutting the call sheets apart. This is a great whole or small group activity. Enjoy!
