About the store
Taught 2nd and 3rd grade by looping with my classes. I thrive on creating my own lessons, worksheets, and extension activities. I usually have the "low" group which is never actually just students with special needs. There's always a chance to provided challenging and engaging materials in each lesson for all of my students!
Tutored for 8+ years all grades and all subject areas. I create many of my own worksheets for these tutoring sessions as well as pre-assessments for each grade level to determine where each child's academic needs are.
I love attending professional development courses, workshops, and conferences.
I'm the STEM Liason for my school so be sure to look out for my future STEM Transdisciplinary lessons and units during this school year!

2nd Grade Reading Lesson: Making Judgments- Common Core Based
Teaching children to judge others is a tricky task!
Do it with fun entertaining stories like Noisy Nora (free video available online--just search for her!) and Chinatown by William Low.
This lesson is pre-written for you and includes a worksheet organizer for the students as well as a list of character traits to use when students struggle to think of their own words to describe the characters.
Students work with the teacher model, in small groups, and then independently to prove their unde

The "I Can" List for Word Work with Spelling Words
Post this next to your word work stations and allow students to pick and choose what they do during their workstation time! Be sure all materials are available to the students (otherwise, edit the page to your liking).

At Home Reading Initiative- Minute to Win it!
In some instances, students need motivation to read. The Minute to Win It! Program is structured to allow the students to read for as many minutes as they wish each night while a timer is set. Once they choose to stop reading, they record the amount of minutes they have read. The guardians sign off on their reading and return the provided chart to school.
The teacher will conduct weekly checks of the reading logs and add the additional minutes to the previous weeks. At the end of a certai

Teaching style
Student centered learning environment. To have my students explore and discover in their own learning environment is very rewarding. To accomplish this, worksheets must be geared towards all learning strengths. I don't just assess with written work. Now, with the new Common Core on the way, we must learn to be resourceful and accommodating to all types of informal and formal assessments.
Students are given more freedom and develop a sense of a personal drive to learn and enhance their own learning.
Structure is important for students to be capable of handling their freedoms in the classroom and be successful in their own learning. You will see some classroom management pieces here, however, nothing works better than working together with your students to develop the "ideal" classroom setting. Reinforcing what you and your students desire in their learning environment will only build success.
Common Core lessons--there will be many! This type of teaching is very student centered. So, be on the look out for activities which cause your children to...THINK!
