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!

Name Art Project

Finding ways for students to get creative in math class can be tough. This project gives your students a chance to play with color, fonts, and to look at their names in a different way. The Name Art Project is set up to be used with Google Slides BUT you can modify the activity and have students do their names on paper! Just print out the alphabet for them to reference - or trace - give them a sheet or two of paper, and let them get creative. This project is a fun way to review angle and geom

Digital Color by Number Pythagorean Theorem: Find the Missing Side

The Pythagorean Theorem is all about the sides of Right Triangles. This activity will help students practice not only how to use the equation, but how to solve for a variable AND how to find the square root of a number. Students are given two sides of a triangle and are challenged to find the third. Sometimes the side they need to find is the hypotenuse (side c) and sometimes it is one of the legs (side a or b). Students need to recognize which side they are solving for and where to plug the

Experience

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.

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.
