About the store
Teaching is my second career...and I'm so glad that I found my way into the classroom! Since 2016 I have been teaching math and science to 5th, 6th, 7th and 8th graders. I work with a wide range of students: gifted and accelerated, special needs, basic skills, and ESL. Prior to getting my teaching certifications, I spent a year substituting in local districts across all grades - from K to 12. It was at this time that I realized that Middle School is my sweet spot!

Mathematical Properties of Addition and Multiplication
Page 1 of this PDF is a notes sheet that I have shared with my students as a review of their Mathematical Properties. For Associative and Commutative properties, I give a definition of the root word to help them remember the difference. Page 2 will be used during our Integers unit, showing how we can rewrite any subtraction expression into an addition expression using positive and negative integers.

Teaching style
I try and provide a nurturing classroom where my students are able to explore math and science through games and hands-on activities. We do puzzles, group projects, have a fantasy football unit, play vocabulary games, and display our artwork in the classroom and hallways. I try to make class fun and less intimidating.
My own education history
I have a BS in Marketing from University of Scranton and an MBA from Regis University. I earned my teaching credentials for Middle School Math through Rutgers' Alternate Route program. In 2020, I went back to college with a focus on Science, earning my Middle School Science credentials in 2021. When I got my MBA I didn't think I'd ever go back to school... and here I am, going "back to school" every day.
