About the store
I taught 3 years at the middle school level (6-8) along with an enrichment class. I decided to resign and stay at home with our three kids when we had our third little (8, 6 and 3 1/2 years old). During the three years of teaching, our math department went through big changes and we created a whole new curriculum based on the CCSS for all three grades. It was a challenging and rewarding experience! Through the experience, we did not adopt books, but found amazing resources on TpT and created our resources which I look forward to sharing with you! Being able to stay at home with my kiddos, create fun, interactive and adaptable resources for your classroom along with making an income is something I am excited to begin on this new journey!

Transformations (Translations) Drawing Activity
Ready to start practicing Translations individually?! Add this activity to your list of activities! Each problem as an 'original' problem and two problems (a and b) relating to the original to solve. They are given the rules and they need to translate the original image (pre-image). Within the two problems to answer, I add the original figure on there, but in a transparent form. That way it isn't the main focus of the problem, but they can see the original points to translate the pre-image. Also

Teaching style
I enjoy a more interactive approach; station work, task cards, partner work, group work and anyway I can get my students moving and learning. I also enjoy using technology whenever I can add it to my lessons.
Awards & shining teacher moments
When watching my students grasp a concept they have struggled with and to see a smile on their face with that feeling of accomplishment - priceless. Makes all the hard times worth every bit of that!
My own education history
*Earned my BS in 2007 from Indiana University Bloomington in Health Education.
*In 2009 I added my Middle School Math Endorsement from Indiana University in South Bend.
