Hello! My name is Madison Mcquiston and I have taught both 1st and 3rd grade. My heart will always belong in first grade.

For most of my products, you'll see lots of organization hacks that I use in the classroom. These organization hacks are used to help guide students through a whole group instruction at the beginning of the week/day and breaking off into centers throughout the remained of the lesson. For example, reading groups are always done in centers and what we are learning in ELA also applies to our reading groups. Math is done as a whole class at the beginning of the week and then breaks off into small group for the remainder of the week. Often my curriculum focuses on student interests and allowing my students to move within the classroom!

I was a member of KPD (Education honor society) & ALD (freshmen honors society). I graded from Ashland Magna Cum Laude. Throughout my first year of teaching I also was recognized at the end of the school year for the highest test scores in math throughout the entire school.

I went to Ashland University where I graduated in 2018. I have my degree in pre-k-5th. I have a minor in online teaching as well.

My classroom theme is all things exploration and shades of teal, mint, and light blue. There is so much joy when I see these colors and I'm hoping to upload some resources I have created for my own classroom based about the 'world traveler' theme.
