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!

My Geometree Project - a printable activity

This activity gives your students a chance to practice their metric conversions while they create a collage of various sizes of rectangles. This project can be done during your geometry unit, but it can also be used during the days leading up to Winter Break, or as an activity to leave with your Sub Plans.

Quadrilateral Classification Flow Chart
Looking for a quick way to show students how quadrilaterals relate to each other? This flow chart lists the different types of quardilaterals, as well as their properties. Each shape has a picture example to go along with the properties of the shape. There are two versions of the flow chart available. The only difference is the addition of a line about the "Sum of Internal Angles is 360°" in the Quadrilateral box at the top of the flow chart. You can print on the color printer, or print in bl

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.
