Sight Word Data Collection Excel Sheets
This is a data collection Excel file created for monitoring reading and writing of sight words. It can be used electronically or printed out to collect/use your data. (Note: When printing you will want to include gridlines.) Upper portion of each sheet may be used to identify dates of testing for one student, or the upper portion can be used to identify a number of students across the top to identify words that need to be worked with in small or whole group.

Personalized Ordinal Center
Personalized writing and ordinal position activity for the reluctant learner. I use this center to provide student practice identifying ordinal position, proper capitalization of names, and using complete sentences to notate response. I have left it in a word document so that each teacher can modify as necessary for individual learner interest. You may choose to have students affix the proper character and position and/or have them rewrite on a paper copy for writing practice. Please note:

Noticing patterns in contractions
This is an introductory lesson that can be used prior to teaching contractions by having students identify what they "see" or "notice" about the words when they are "pushed" together to form a contraction. I used this to prompt students to identify what the apostrophe consistently takes the place of when using not, have, would, will, etc.

Teaching style
I am a hands on person and love utilizing the Promethean Board creating my own flip charts with visuals, ActivExpressions, and utilize Kurzweil for read aloud accommodations for students. I create different activities based on students' needs and believe in differentiation to meet all students' needs. I utilize technology and student participation to making learning fun. Sitting or standing and lecturing is not my style. I believe in modeling, student feedback and being on the move during instruction.
Awards & shining teacher moments
I could say my grade point average, but my honor totally comes down to a successful SOL rate with students with special needs.
My own education history
It took me 28 years to complete my teaching degree working around the needs of my family. Attended colleges in PA, WA and VA.
