About the store
I teach 5th grade with an amazing and supportive team. I have been teaching for five years and discovered early on that a lot of what I wanted and needed for assignments couldn't be found. I had to create a lot of what I needed from the get-go, and I am so thankful that I did.

This is a great lab to include while teaching your students about food chains. Students have the opportunity to dissect an owl pellet and discover the contents within. Using those pieces as clues, students will be able to answer the questions in this lab to determine where in the food chain an owl and its' prey fall, as well as what type of habitat owls live in based on their diet.

Experience
I teach 5th grade with an amazing and supportive team. I have been teaching for five years and discovered early on that a lot of what I wanted and needed for assignments couldn't be found. I had to create a lot of what I needed from the get-go, and I am so thankful that I did.

Teaching style
I teach using a lot of partner and group work. I really enjoy having my students do hands-on experiments and projects to teach Science and Social Studies especially.
Awards & shining teacher moments
I am currently on the Kansas State Science team to review the upcoming state science assessment over the new standards.
My own education history
I have a Bachelor of Science in Education from Friends University and a Master of Arts in Education from Baker University.
Additional biographical information
I find it really hard to find what I need for my specific grade level and content. A lot of what is out there doesn't go deep enough for my liking, so I create projects, activities and worksheets that go deeper.
