Teaching style

I love teaching effective lessons that blend learning with fun. In my classroom, I incorporate movement, song, cooperative learning, and problem-solving strategies whenever possible. My goal is to differentiate my lessons to reach every student effectively. I enjoy using humor and silliness to help students remember concepts and create a lively learning environment!
