Experience
I have 5 years of experience in 3rd grade and am currently teaching my second year of 2nd grade.
Teaching style
I hope instill a growth mindset by giving my students challenging material that lends itself to critical and independent thinking. My style includes a lot of modeling and self guided practice. I try to incorporate play and use of manipulatives into most lessons to develop a strong understanding of concepts taught.

Additional biographical information
I have SUCH a love for learning. I am absolutely addicted to pod casts. While I am teaching, I will constantly share with my students fun new information learned from what I have most recently heard. I hope that my love is infectious. I want my students to see my passion and get excited too.
I love chocolate. I always have a stash of cocoa roasted almonds in my classroom.
There is constantly music playing in my classroom. Spotify playlists are the best. We listen to strings versions of popular songs. It lets us have fun but not get too distracted.
