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!

Student Centered Classrooms require a lot of work! Use this pre-made math workshop (aligned with the 2nd grade Investigations Unit 6 problem solving) to engage your students! This game just needs school money (which we all have a ton of laying around somewhere!) and white boards or notebooks for students to do their best math thinking. Students pull a card and interact with their money like they would in real life: buying products/services, making money by doing chores, and making economical

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!
