About the store
I am in my 12th year of teaching though my background is somewhat unique. I taught 1st grade for 2 years at Church Point Elementary and then kindergarten for 3 years at Carencro Heights Elementary. At that time I was fortunate enough to be able to choose to stay at home with my daughter. I then worked part-time doing medical transcription and raising my two daughters for 10 years. I taught kindergarten for 4 years and served as a district ELA Coach, helping other ELA teachers across the district, for 2 years. I chose to return to the classroom for the 19-20 school year at Duson Elementary and I teach 2nd grade ELA. The 20-21 school year will be my 8th year back in education in Louisiana.

Reading Strategies Progress Report
A great communication tool to share specific information with parents on what their child is doing well and what specifically needs practice to improve their reading abilities! This can be sent home with report cards or any time when you feel communication is needed with parents about reading!

Writing Paper
I created this writing paper to accommodate my kindergarten students who can not visually see the space between each writing line. I put gray in those areas and tell students they do not write on the gray areas. This helps them to visually organize where they are supposed to be writing and immediately improved their handwriting. This paper is oriented vertically.

Teaching style
My teaching style varies often and typically depends on each group of students I have. Overall I try to balance hands-on activities with activity sheet type of work as the demand for students to be able to complete seat work independently continues to grow. I also try to employ many kinesthetic learning opportunities. We are blessed to be a 1:1 school and each student has a Chromebook to work on so I am working to create new products to use with this technology as well.
Awards & shining teacher moments
While on hiatus from teaching I was honored as an APEL Volunteer of the Year award through the Louisiana State Department of Education.
My own education history
I graduated from the University of Louisiana at Lafayette (then known as University of Southern Louisiana) in 1999 with a Bachelor's of Arts in Education and am certified to teach grades K to 4. Prior to returning to the classroom I completed 2 additional educational courses through University of Phoenix to update my teacher certification after being out of the classroom for 10 years.
