About the store

Experience

I am currently a third grade teacher. Previously, I have taught second grade and was also a Title I/Reading Resource teacher.

Teaching style

I believe students learn best when they are highly engaged in their learning. I like to use hands-on manipulatives, games, songs, puppets, technology, and movement activities to maximize student learning. I've also learned the importance of teacher modeling and building on background knowledge.

My own education history

I graduated from Purdue University North Central. I have a bachelor's degree in elementary education with a Reading Specialist endorsement.
