About the store
I have spent the last twelve years teaching students with special needs in grades 5 through 8. I have taught many subject areas including Math, Reading, Grammar, Social Studies, Science, Health, and Religion. In addition, I have taught adult education classes on Time Management, Organization, Goal Setting, Basic Writing, Basic Math, and Resume Writing. I have brought these lessons into the middle school classroom in a series I call Lunch and Learn where students come during their lunch time, and we review these topics. This has left me with many extraordinary experiences, and materials that cover many areas.
