Why Use Math Journals? While students learn how to "do" math, they must also learn how to articulate what they are learning. It is important to provide many opportunities for students to organize and record their work without the structure of a worksheet.

Experience

This is my 11th year teaching in a Title One school in Virginia (VA is for lovers)! I have taught 4th and 5th grade in the classroom and now I am currently a Title One Reading Specialist who works with K-5. My role includes administering assessments, assisting classroom teachers with reading interventions, and school-wide reading incentives, and planning and instructing small-group intervention lessons with students performing below benchmark levels.

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!
