About the store
Prior to teaching, I was the marketing director for the Lafayette Bar Association, a local membership organization for attorneys and judges. I have always wanted to teach, and am so thrilled that in 2009 I decided to begin my passion--teaching. I have taught in only high-poverty, Title I schools, and I wouldn't have it any other way. My children are exceptional and I have taught 4th grade for three years, and 3rd grade one year.

This PowerPoint is a companion piece to my Place Value Activities file. In this PowerPoint, the students will... 1. Properly read numbers. 2.

This is the second companion to the Place Value Activities file I have uploaded. In this PowerPoint, the students will... 1. Identify equations that can be used to make a certain number (there are an infinite number of correct answers). e.g. 56: 50 + 6; 8 x 7; 67 - 11; etc. 2. Identify if numbers are even or odd. 3. Interpret numbers in different ways using guiding questions. e.g. How can you build 8,931 with only thousands, tens, and ones? 4. Sort numbers into Venn Diagrams based on ce

Experience

Prior to teaching, I was the marketing director for the Lafayette Bar Association, a local membership organization for attorneys and judges. I have always wanted to teach, and am so thrilled that in 2009 I decided to begin my passion--teaching. I have taught in only high-poverty, Title I schools, and I wouldn't have it any other way. My children are exceptional and I have taught 4th grade for three years, and 3rd grade one year.

Teaching style

Hands-on, discovery learning is the way I believe people, not just children, learn. I believe in doing activities with the students and letting them see and experience the skills and content, not hearing about it or copying it down. I bring in real-life examples, pictures, scenarios, etc. in everything that I do. This way, the content is brought to life and applicable to them. My students actually "teach" me because I use questions while I'm teaching instead of explicitly telling them what they need to know. I do not lecture. I rather facilitate and guide their thinking. I plug in the vocabulary words after they have already explained everything to me. Textbooks stay on the shelf.

Awards & shining teacher moments

I have been the team leader for my team for 2 years and have earned the Praxis Excellence Award.

My own education history

I graduated high school from Westminster Christian Academy. I earned my Bachelor's Degree in Mass Communication with a minor in Marketing from the University of Louisiana at Lafayette. I am certified to teach Pre-K through 5th grade in Louisiana.

Additional biographical information

I am the captain of my kickball team (yes, that's right--an adult kickball team), and my brother is our pitcher, so it's really nice to hang out with him and his wife every Thursday! I truly love teaching and have taught in only high-poverty schools, so it is very accurate to say I am in this for the children. I love my students, and really want to make a difference.
