Teacher to the Core

I am energetic 1st grade teacher and have been teaching 1st and 2nd grade since 2000. It is my personal mission that the teachers and students 3 things. ✔ #1 You are loved and gifted! We need what you bring to school. ✔ #2 Your brain is beautiful and with effort we can grow and build that brain muscle. ✔ # 3. You don't have to be silent in this room, unless another person is speaking. Otherwise share those ideas with a partner or your table. Because this is my philosophy students feel safe to try hard, persist with grit, to engage each other in their learning. We at meet at Elevate Conferences nationwide or direct message on Instagram. I specialize in: ✔ literacy ✔ fluency skills and strategies ✔ comprehension ✔ collaborative learning and engaging lessons ✔ classroom management. I focus on Research-based Teaching and create products you can trust to be up to date. I work hard to create rigorous and research based products, so I do the research. My products are time-tested, data proved, and research-based. I am also the author of the blog Teacher to the Core! You can find me there at www.teachertothecore.com What will you find if you go to Teacher to the Core? ✔ A real and relaxed environment where I share best practices and best attempts for teaching 1st and 2nd grade. I say attempts because sometimes I am going to share my epic failures and ensuing fixes. ✔ Easy to implement ideas ✔ Free resources ✔ Pictures from a Southern California classroom ✔ A place where you can laugh and get refreshed
