About the store
I try to create activities that contain some kind of meaning or purpose related to real life.

A lot of my activities are also based on life experience growing up with family in the special needs community. I look at activities from not only the teacher side (what concepts will be taught) but the family side (how will this make a difference to their future) and the student side (what might they find interesting or boring).

They should understand that there is nothing wrong with working a minimum wage job, but there are sacrifices that go along with that. This project will help them compare their lifestyle in their dream job with their lifestyle if they don't finish school and can only get a mi

Multiplication Baseball
Keep the multiplication drills fun by making it a baseball game. Students use playing cards to get to factors to multiply. The product tells them how many bases they can go. This is a fun way to keep kids practicing. In my experience they tend to begin to correct each other when mistakes are made and have great discussions on different methods to use to find the product.

Teaching style
In teaching EC students, I have found the need for many hands-on activities. I can't stand doing all worksheets and formal notes. We have to get down and dirty with math.
My own education history
I have a Bachelor's in Special Education with a concentration in Math.
