About the store
I have 9 years of experience in Elementary Education. For the past 8 years I have worked in a Certified position in a 2nd grade classroom. The school I teach shifted into Personalized Learning several years ago. Previous to certification, I worked for 2 years in Special Education Classes with students with mild to severe disabilities.
My first experience with teaching students was when I got out of high school. I joined an Elementary Music Team Assembly Program called Primary Focus. I spent 3 years on assembly teams performing in over 1,000 elementary schools with a character building program called the "Six Pillars of Character."

Time to Teach 4-Question Refocus Form
This classroom management tool will help you decrease the number of students sent to the office. It allows you to continue teaching while a student reflects on his or her own behavior. After the student completes the Refocus Form, you will have documentation of the behavior to add to your file, send to a parent.

Teaching style
I am NOT a lecturer. I like my whole group teaching time to be interactive. Students frequently do "turn-and-talks" with neighbors around them so they all get the chance to share.
I like to give small mini-lessons and then allow the students to experience learning for themselves. I like to involve Visual, Auditory, and Kinesthetic experiences as well.
I use a mix of teaching whole group and having students practice skills on their one-to-one iPad devices.

Additional biographical information
I love music. I used to sing in a music group and in church.
My favorite sport is basketball.
My favorite hobby is playing board games. Not like Monopoly though, I am talking about really fun, but more obscure board games along the lines of Carcassonne and Settlers of Catan.
