About the store
My name is Jenny-Lyn, and I am an educator who has an interest in adult, elementary (Grade 1 to 6) and ESL education. I was born in Ontario, Canada and finished a Humanities B.A. at the University of Toronto Scarborough Campus. I was fortunate to gain three years of teaching experience with adult learners in Japan but was ready to return to the classroom after completing a Diploma of Education in Melbourne, Australia. I taught ESL students between 5 and 12 years of age in Nunavut Canada, before moving to Ottawa in 2015. Four years as a Long-Term Occasional Teacher with Ottawa Carleton District School Board led me through grade 3 ETFI, Junior Autism and many other unique roles. However, in 2019 I became a permanent teacher and am excited to be teaching full-time kindergarten in 2020. My passion continues to be in the field of English as a Second language and so I always create materials with the needs of these students in mind.

Assessment: Google Forms: Grade 2 (all subjects)

There are many methods for recording assessments and observations. I found that using Google Forms provided more flexibility, organization and time management than handwritten or excel-based records. Each Google form contains a space to identify the assignment’s name, description (optional) and date. Followed by a checkbox list of the curriculum expectations that allows for multiple selections as some activities may cover more than one expectation in the subject. Identifying the expectation

Auto-Filled Student Password Cards

Apple Pages is required to use this resource. I often find writing student password cards by hand or needing to scroll to type the information directly into cards time consuming. This was my solution for setting up or updating password cards in under 10 minutes: type once and print. Directions1. (TPT does not allow Apple Page uploads.)

Experience

My name is Jenny-Lyn, and I am an educator who has an interest in adult, elementary (Grade 1 to 6) and ESL education. I was born in Ontario, Canada and finished a Humanities B.A. at the University of Toronto Scarborough Campus. I was fortunate to gain three years of teaching experience with adult learners in Japan but was ready to return to the classroom after completing a Diploma of Education in Melbourne, Australia. I taught ESL students between 5 and 12 years of age in Nunavut Canada, before moving to Ottawa in 2015.

However, in 2019 I became a permanent teacher and am excited to be teaching full-time kindergarten in 2020. My passion continues to be in the field of English as a Second language and so I always create materials with the needs of these students in mind.

Teaching style

Being a kinaesthetic learner myself, I engage students through hands-on and creative lessons. Some of the methods that inspire and provide a foundation include Picture Word Induction Model, Transforming Learning and Picturing Writing. I also adopt smaller community programs (e.g. Participaction150) to create classroom experiences that are meaningful to the students' lives.

My own education history

Along with a Diploma of Education through La Trobe University in Melbourne, I have completed additional qualification courses in the following subjects... Teaching First Nation, Metis and Inuit Children (2015), Mathematics Primary and Junior Part 1 (2015), English as a Second Language Part 1 (2012), Part 2 (2013) and Specialist (2014), Special Education Part 1 (2012) and Part 2 (2014), Reading Part 1 (2012), Part 2 (2014) and Specialist (2015), Kindergarten Part 1 (2013) Part 2 (2020)

Additional biographical information

It is not possible to write about myself and not include a reference to my orange fur baby Potato. He joined our family in 2018 from a cat shelter in Smith Falls and has been our purring alarm clock ever since. Though he has yet to visit my classroom, students feel as if he is one of our clutter as he often becomes part of the stories I tell in class.
