About the store
Hard to believe it but this will be my 17th year teaching! In those 17 years, I have taught kindergarten, 2nd, 3rd, and 4th in 2 very different school districts. After 11 years in kindergarten, I will be moving back to 2nd grade and I'm looking forward to the change (and challenge!).
Thirteen years ago, I was selected to participate in a unique science professional development opportunity along with 50 other local teachers. For 3 years, we improved our content knowledge and teaching instruction to strengthen our students experiences in science. I am now so lucky to say that I was selected for the same grant, this time focusing on refining our math content knowledge and instruction for the next 5 years!

It's the BEST Birthday Ever!
At the beginning of the year, I love to use birthdays as a way for students to get to know one another. The topic can also serve as a great break in the day when establishing procedures and expectations in the classroom. In this packet you will find: *A sight word coloring sheet and word search for the birthday boy or girl. *A class birthday bar graph activity (including questions to answer about collected data). *Birthday certificates to print out and give to the birthday boy or girl.

Teaching style
I have a very diverse group of students every year that all come with very different educational backgrounds. No two students are the same and neither should my teaching! I am constantly trying to create or find new ways to instruct and influence my students so they become inspired to continue learning for a lifetime!
My own education history
I hold a Bachelor's degree from Missouri State University and a Master's Degree in Education from Rockhurst University. I currently am a student in the Curriculum and Education department at the University of Kansas - Rock Chalk!
Additional biographical information
I love movies, music, baking, interior design, and DIYing. I also love the Kansas City Royals, KC Chiefs, organizing, and school supplies (like any other teacher!).
