About the store
I've taught multiple grades in a variety of schools - from extremely high-performing gifted students to low income, non-AYP schools. I'm certified 1-6 and have interned in 1st and 4th, but taught in all the others. My favorite grade is 3rd. I have also taught in three different charter schools as well as traditional public schools.
I worked at the Kennedy Space Center as part of a Summer Industrial Fellowship for Teachers. During that time I shadowed college students from around the world who worked with NASA and government contract employees. During this time, I developed many lesson plans for Dynamac Corporation and NASA and my own personal use.
I also am a founding board member for one of the most successful charter schools in our county and assisted in writing two additional charters.

Classroom procedure manual based on Harry Wong
If you like Harry Wong, you will love these procedures! Each year that I have taught, I've modified these to my liking. I never post rules in my classroom. Each child gets a folder at the beginning of the year with these sheets inside (I use plastic protectors for the best results). Students can refer to procedures at any time, as can you! I have examples of how to head a paper, what to do when you're done with your work, how to line up, how to work in small groups, and more! I have also include

Remember the skit of Bill Cosby talking about how his kids must be reminded of every step, even to take a shower? (His son comes down with pajamas clinging because he forgot to dry off, for example)

Mardi Gras Activity Centers
There are five activities for students to complete. Most should be done in a center, but some can be done independently as well. I've included directions on how to make maracas and beads. Students are also encouraged to read about the history of Mardi Gras and create a crossword using the information. Many of the centers are hands on and two of them will need at least three days to complete (art projects that will need to dry).

Gary and the Wheat Stalk
This PowerPoint shows how plants are researched at the Kennedy Space Center and how they will be utilized in future space explorations. Included in the PowerPoint is a 7-step activity to make a miniature greenhouse.
Most of the photos in this PowerPoint were taken by me personally while working out at the Kennedy Space Center. Gary is a real person who worked on many of the plant experiments for future exploration and expansion!

Hands-on Valentine math graphing and Venn Diagram activities
I use this graphing activity every year and it's a hit with all my co-workers! This can be kept very simple or it can be quite challenging! Included are the directions for the graphing activity as well as directions for the Venn Diagram (you can actually copy it and hand it to the students, but it's also easily editable as well, so you can make any changes you wish). I also included a page of suggestions and accommodations for different ages/abilities. The is a great holiday activity that still

Teaching style
I enjoy thematic teaching that reaches multiple intelligences. I like engaging activities that promote student inquiry and hands-on group activities. I often have students work in small groups, but in a structured environment.
I do give students opportunities to evaluate decisions they have made regarding their behavior and I always allow students to take some time to compose themselves, should they need to do so. I provide a safe learning environment. I like students to show their knowledge in a variety of ways but also expect that they can transfer their understanding to a standardized test as well.
