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 made me a lot more comfortable in creating new projects and activities for the new Common Core standards when they were introduced.

Compounds & Molecules using Molecular Model Sets
This activity is a hands-on lab that meets the Next Generation Science Standard for fifth grade - 5-PS1-1 Matter and Its Interaction: Develop a model to describe that matter is made of particles too small to be seen. Students learn that molecules and compounds are made of different combinations of elements. They have to determine which elements are in the given compounds and molecules, then build the compound/molecule with a molecular model set and, finally, sketch their constructions. My stud

Gum Drop Atoms Lab
This activity is a hands-on lab that meets the Next Generation Science Standard for fifth grade – 5-PS1-1 Matter and Its Interaction: Develop a model to describe that matter is made of particles too small to be seen. Students learn how the three parts that make up an atom: protons, neutrons and electrons. They research several different elements to find how many protons, neutrons and electrons are in each element and interesting facts about the elements by using provided websites. Then, stude

Endothermic & Exothermic Reactions
This lab meets NGSS standard PS1.B: Chemical Reactions: MS-PS1-6 - Some chemical reactions release energy, others store energy. Students will be mixing chemicals together, making sure to take initial and final temperatures. From the temperature readings they take, students will then determine whether the reaction was endothermic or exothermic. Finally, they will create a bar graph showing their initial and final temperatures.

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. This made me a lot more comfortable in creating new projects and activities for the new Common Core standards when they were introduced.
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.
