Roller Coaster Design Challenge
Watch your students design and build with their imagination and engineering skills! This design brief gives a background, criteria, and material list to build a functioning roller coaster. I use this at the end of the year and my students LOVE it. ALL you need is tape, paper, and file folders and watch your students build!

Teaching style
I love to keep up with the latest research in reading interventions and instruction. Finding the perfect recipe for a struggling reader is a challenge that I enjoy. I learn from each student that I work with and am continuously adding new strategies and ideas to my toolbox. I also enjoy helping my co-workers find new ways to address reading difficulties in their classrooms. I have designed lots of games for my students to keep them active and engaged! I follow the Science of Reading Approach to Literacy as well as some of the Orton Gillingham Approach. I love using multisensory techniques when working with children and helping them grasp the skills needed to be successful readers!
