About the store
I have been in education for 25+ years. I am currently an Instructional Coach on a K-3 elementary campus. My classroom teaching experience is in 3rd grade (10 years) and 4th grade (5 years). Because of my current position, I have gained a lot of experience in teaching K-2 as well.. I have learned that I love the younger elementary kids as much as the older ones.
I spend most of my day working with and for teachers. We collaborate on instructional strategies, the whole child, and targeted instruction. I tell the teachers I work with that my goal is to help make their very difficult job easier.
I am also the RTI, 504, and building test coordinator. Therefore, I also spend a lot of time working on and planning interventions and test prep.

Explicit Phonics Lessons for the 6 Syllable Types: Includes Syllabication
These lessons cover all 6 syllable types. They are written in the Gradual Release of Responsibility format and offer a scripted format. The scripted format is not meant to insinuate that this is the only way to teach syllabication, but merely a suggestion for the language to use. When I encounter a scripted lesson, I tend to read through the whole lesson, then put it in my own words. These lessons also build upon each other meaning that once a syllable type has been introduced in a lesson, it m

Doodle Write for Intermediate Grades
Students love Doodle Writes. If you are not familiar with what a doodle write is, it is a “doddle” on a piece of paper where students add to it to create an illustration of their choice. Students then write a story about their illustration. They are great for creative writing! However, these are also great to use for students to write about any topic; such as an event or response to a story they’ve read, an illustration for nonfiction text, or a report on an experiment they have completed.

Teaching style
My teaching style is eclectic. My style tends to shift according to what my students need. I usually start with the gradual release model, but will shift to more student exploration if the opportunity presents itself. I like a structured classroom with high engagement, meaning that I work hard to set rules and procedures so my classroom runs smoothly. I believe this is extremely important because time is precious.
