Time Out Zone: Alaska, A Place To Chill Out
I teach upper elementary and they laugh when I mention "time out" or "think time" so I came across something that seemed amazing. ALASKA! Name your corner, desk, chair, or just spot where you need to send your students to just COOL off or CHILL OUT for a minute or two. I use my Alaska after I have given students a verbal warning I then will send them back to the "Alaska Desk" and have them think about their actions and why they were sent here.

Quiz and Test Parent Communication Slip
This is something that I experimented with last year in teaching. A lot of times I would send home assessments to keep the parents in the loop of how their child was doing in class and what grades to expect.

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!
