About the store
In fifth grade, I became a teacher. I would work with my classmates on a daily basis. Teaching has followed me throughout my life. I graduated from Brigham Young University with a Bachelors Degree in Humanities. The degree taught me how to think and analyze, which makes me a better teacher. I also have a deep background of art history, literature, history, and philosophy. After my graduation, I worked as an educator at the Braithwaite Fine Art Gallery at Southern Utah University. I loved going into teachers' classrooms to teach art lessons, and having the students come into the art museum. In addition, I presented at an Art Education Conference. During my tenure at the museum, one of my favorite exhibits was Andy Warhol's Endangered Species. We would talk about the colors, texture, and how Andy didn't color in the lines! It was so fun to let students see how artists think outside the box.
I also taught at four colleges: Southern College, Suny Oneonta, Hartwick College, and Rockford College. I taught the Microsoft Office Suite. It was nice to give students practical tools to help with their education. I am very comfortable with technology, and can first learn how to use and then teach any program. While teaching at Rockford College, I completed my Master of Arts in Teaching. I had the rare opportunity to practice the skills I learned in my Reading Methods class with my very own first grader. I soon learned that it was better for him to use context clues, rather than phonemic clues to figure out words. It was a wonderful experience! I student taught at Ledgewood Elementary in second grade. It is by far my favorite grade! I also have volunteered in kindergarten, first, second, and third grade. I was recently a teacher's assistant in kindergarten. I love working with children on all levels (even college age ones!) I hope to have my own classroom soon!

Students must identify what each of these communities have and are. The book that I wrote is an awesome resource for this project. Third, I included a

Informational Text: Did You Know? A Book about Reindeer
This is a short informational book on reindeer.

They eat reindeer moss. It has beautiful photographs, and would be a great way to teach students some real facts about reindeer. I hope it will spark students interest to learn more about reindeer.
