About the store
I have been teaching for 21 years in the Inner City of Chicago. Right after college, I began teaching ESL to adult students. This made me realize that I needed to start teaching young people and teach them well so that when they grew up they wouldn't have a need to go back to school as adults. I started my career as an art teacher, then became a librarian and a classroom teacher. Over the years I have taught all ages, and grades. This I believe has given me the knowledge to be able to teach, and create lessons that address the needs of all of our students.

Map of the United States of Mexico
The official name of Mexico is the United States of Mexico. This map is a political map which shows the borders of all the Mexican states. Included is the list of names of all the Mexican states. I've used this in geography for the students to become familiar with the states and can be used as a coloring sheet. All the art work which appears is my own original work. From the store of OmegaSupreme.

Female Superhero Character Development
Young girls can be their own superhero. Or they can make their own superhero by creating a character profile. If a young person could be a superhero what kind of superhero would they be? What kind of power would they have? Who would they save? The blank template enables them to design their own costume and add their own characteristics to conquer the world and stop evil in their tracks. Be sure to get the male version of the profile too to complete the set!

Teaching style
I liked to describe my style as being holistic. I believe that we need to expose young people to everything so that they get a well rounded education.
