About the store
I am a sixth grade teacher! I began my teaching career in a third grade setting, and moved up to sixth grade when an opening came because of my love of math. I absolutely love working with the upper grades because the kids come with such unique personalities. I love that they have their favorite subjects, and I love that I get to open a new world of favorites to them as well. I love making math fun for my students, and I love helping them see that school is awesome.

Teaching style
Four words: Cooperative and Active Learning. Finding the balance in a classroom can be difficult, but I believe that there is a place for everything. Much learning can be done when students get a chance to move around and bounce ideas off with a partner. Students work in groups, partners, trios, (pretty much any group size) daily. I also believe that there must be a time for individual work. The key is the balance, and that is an ongoing, daily challenge. :)
My own education history
I graduated with a BS in Elementary Education. I began my collegiate studies in the mathematics field, preparing for a math or physics education degree. I love math, and my students have grown to enjoy it as well! I have completed my arts integration endorsement, and I'm constantly amazed by how much it makes students LOVE learning! I recently had a student tell me he'd start coming in on Saturdays if I taught an art class. #teacherwin
Additional biographical information
I will eat pretty much any fruit, and my students know that the key to my heart is via watermelon, strawberries, smoothies, apples, grapes and Cutie oranges.
