Scribble/Squiggle Writing
This creative writing activity is great for the beginning of the year, focusing on certain skills, or to simply get kids excited about writing. Students use the 'squiggle' at the top of the page to draw a picture (you can give them a theme or let their creativity run wild), then they use the picture to write a story about their squiggle. This activity can be as free or structured as you want to make it. In my classroom I let them be creative with their drawings and use a word wheel with vocab

Experience
My passion for teaching and learning is deeply rooted. I am a strong believer in being a lifelong learner, not just through education but also experiences, relationships, and everyday interactions. My goal as a teacher is that my students leave my classroom as better humans.
Following the love I found in respite care and nannying, I decided to begin my journey to teaching at Spring Arbor University where I learned from some of the best and received my bachelor's degree in Early Childhood Education. I then did my student teaching in third grade at a large public school where I learned under a brilliant veteran teacher! Shortly after, I was hired into a fourth grade at a small charter school, looking for someone to bring balance to a class with diverse needs. Outside of school I continue to work with children who have a variety of special needs.
Teaching style
I love to have fun and be silly with my students while running a tight ship when it comes to classroom management. I encourage a growth mindset and focus on the whole child through emotionally mindful practices.
