About the store
I have been in education for 26 years. I am honored to be working alongside a warm, caring and supportive staff. I have taught 1/2 combo, then taught second grade for ten years, went to first grade and became a looping teacher from first to second (which was totally fun!). It is such a blessing to be able to teach these young children how to read, comprehend and compute. It is wonderful to be a witness to these children interact and develop social skills and etiquette. I have also taught 4th grade, 7th grade ELA and 8the grade ELA and even High School ELA!

Do you need something for the kiddos to do on a cold, rainy or snowy day while they are stuck inside for recess? Here it is! This is a pack of 8 games.

The pack includes a game for each short vowel, a sight word game, and easy-to-follow directions game and a color matching game. Great for all levels of your class and you do not need to teach them what to do. You can also

Teaching style

I believe in a child-centered environment, led by the classroom teacher. While districts and states are being encouraged to be data-driven, I still believe in the teachable moments. I enjoy being silly with my students and letting them cheer and chant (when appropriate and controlled) so they can remember having fun while they were learning. It is my true hope that my students have fun in school and beyond.

Awards & shining teacher moments

I will come back to this section. I can think of resume info, but not sure anyone wants to know that stuff! :-)
