Here is a "how to" instruction page for parents of students who are doing Read Naturally for homework. I keep this in the folder with their Read Naturally homework until parents are confident.

The clip chart is a great component in my behavior management plan. While I do not use it alone, it is a great visual representation. I use clothespins with numbers on them and not names. Simply copy this on cardstock and laminate for a long lasting clip chart!

About the store

Experience

I have taught 1st grade for 5 fun and fast years! Prior to that, I was a middle school teacher and a part-time children's minister.

Teaching style

Switch it up! Just because it worked last year, does not mean it will work this year! Be ready to differentiate and adapt at the drop of a hat!

Awards & shining teacher moments

Biggest honors are parents asking "Will you please move up with us?" and my own children proudly telling people they meet that "My mom is a 1st grade teacher. And they have fun! I wish she was my teacher."

My own education history

I graduated from Abilene Christian University as a Reading Specialist with a Bachelors in Elementary Education.

Additional biographical information

I frequently tell my parents "My job is better than yours." and boy do I mean it! However, I really love spending time with my family. My husband and I love attending volleyball, football, and basketball games as well as concerts that our 3 kiddos are involved in. Four of us are at the private school where I get to teach, and hubby is down the street at the university! Love love love being on the same campus as my high school-er and middle school-ers!
