About the store
Hello and welcome to my store! My name is Liz Goncalves and I have taught children in grades Preschool- Kindergarten for 9 years. Most of my years were spent working in inclusion/blended classrooms and self contained special education classrooms. I cherished the time I had working with my little ones and am thankful for all the opportunities that the education field has given me. Now, I want to focus more of my time outside of the classroom by making resources to help early childhood and lower primary teachers thrive inside the classroom.

Experience
Hello and welcome to my store! My name is Liz Goncalves and I have taught children in grades Preschool- Kindergarten for 9 years. Most of my years were spent working in inclusion/blended classrooms and self contained special education classrooms. I cherished the time I had working with my little ones and am thankful for all the opportunities that the education field has given me. Now, I want to focus more of my time outside of the classroom by making resources to help early childhood and lower primary teachers thrive inside the classroom.
Teaching style
As an early educator, I am all about hands on learning! I believe that students learn best through multisensory and kinesthetic approaches. Multisensory and Kinesthetic learning can be incorporated into all subject areas, especially for young learners. I love incorporating music and movement as well as sensory and role playing experiences into student learning to make it more meaningful.
My own education history
I earned my Bachelor's degree in Early Childhood Education in 2015 in NJ.
I earned my Master's degree in Special Education in 2021 in NJ.
I am certified as a p-3/ k-6 general education teacher and a preschool-12th grade special education teacher.
