I am currently a 5th grade teacher at Plaza Heights Christian Academy in Blue Springs, MO, but I spent 3 1/2 years in the public school system teaching 4th and 1st grade, as well as substituting in all grade levels. I also have experience teaching and directing in the preschool ministry at my church.
I believe that children will rise to meet the expectations set for them. Therefore, I do have high expectations for my students which I achieve through having a well organized classroom and a consistent and well-structured management system. I also believe that learning can and should be fun. Students in my classroom do more than worksheets and flashcards. We use Kagan Cooperative Learning methods, Reader's, Writer's, and Math Workshops, and interactive notebooks. The students in my class love to learn and learn responsibility that will help them suceed through life.
