Teaching style
I love to teach using themes! I am constantly trying to connect my language arts skills with topics relevant to the other subject areas. I feel students learn so much more if they can see how events are related to each other. I find myself creating a lot of my own materials because commercial products for the intermediate grades are still fairly divided among subjects. That's okay, though. I'm finding that my custom-made activities are the ones the students are most successful with!
