About the store

Experience

Other than the first 2 years in which I subbed in Kindergarten through middle school, my 25 years of teaching have been in K, 1st, and 2nd grade. People often ask which grade I like the best and I just have to say that I love them all!

Teaching style

My style is to differentiate as much as possible, part of that is teaching phonics and decoding in small groups. In my classroom we do Daily 5 and I use Math Work Stations. I would prefer my students to be active learners, working together on an activity or playing math or reading games as much as possible. I believe that my students will learn the most when they're having fun!
