About the store
I have 30+ years of teaching experience: 21 years middle school; 9 years 4th thru 6th grade all subjects. I have been teaching long enough to administer three different state standardized tests. I taught elementary school for nine years and have been teaching middle school for 21 years. Although I have taught all subjects, I now teach middle school science, which I enjoy immensely!

Real World Science and Health Vocabulary
Most medical procedures have names that sound difficult, but can be interpreted by breaking the names apart. This short lesson uses stems, prefixes, and suffixes to help students understand the meanings of otherwise difficult science and health vocabulary terms with common core connections to English Language Arts.

Experience
I have 30+ years of teaching experience: 21 years middle school; 9 years 4th thru 6th grade all subjects. I have been teaching long enough to administer three different state standardized tests. I taught elementary school for nine years and have been teaching middle school for 21 years. Although I have taught all subjects, I now teach middle school science, which I enjoy immensely!
Teaching style
Since I attended middle and high school when instructors lectured to rather than allowed students to participate, I teach more with hands-on and inquiry lessons with inclusion of other core subjects to make real life connections. I use varied methods to review that include differentiated learning and group labs and projects. I try to teach students to problem-solve and ask questions that make them think outside the box.
