About the store
This is my 18th year of teaching first grade. In that time, I have worked with 80% ESL students. I have worked 7 years on a District Curriculum Mapping team. On this team I build the science, math, and ELA curriculum for grades K-5. I developed learning activities, assessments, and found resources for teachers to use in their instruction. I have been trained in SIOP method of instruction and RTI. This past year I served on our schools SIP team, data team, and RTI team. I completed my Reading and Literacy master's degree at Marygrove University in August of 2012.

Conversation Heart Graphing {Valentine's Day Activity}
This fun hands-on activity will engage every student. This graphing activity offers three different options for graphing. Not all conversation heart candy packages are the same, so this set offer various options (different colors). This activity is great to use for a Valentine's Day party, during Valentine's week, or as a center. Looking for another fun Valentine's math activity.... check this out: Valentine's Dice Games

Teaching style
I believe in reaching all learners. When doing a lesson I try to reach each learning style. With my ESL students it is highly important to have visual and hands-on experiences. I really believe in choice theory. I work hard on talking all my students through their good and bad choices. I feel that it is important to instill responsibility at an early age in order to make the students better citizens in the future.
Awards & shining teacher moments
I had the honor of presenting at the Michigan School Improvement Conference in 2012. I presented with some of my other colleagues on how our school closed the gap from 26% to 72% top to bottom.
