About the store
I teach at a Title I school with a very high ESOL population. I started as a long term substitute for a Math intervention teacher, working with grades 1 - 5. I worked the rest of that school year as a Teacher Support Assistant - still doing Math interventions and also providing reading intervention to students in grades 1 - 5.
My first year was in 2013/2014 as a 3rd grade teacher. I switched to 4th grade in the 2014/2015 school year. Teaching 5th grade now (2017/2018).
I absolutely love teaching and just want to be the best teacher I can be!

Teaching style
I am still a somewhat new teacher, always learning things and soaking up tips like a sponge. I am excited to incorporate whole brain teaching strategies into my lesson's and work on pacing to ensure my students are engaged and actively learning the content. I am passionate about goal setting and teaching the whole child.

My own education history
I grew up in South Africa, so I attended pre-school (there is no pre-K or kindergarten) through 12th grade there. I then completed a year-long course on computer programming and earned a Comprehensive Programming diploma.
I moved to the USA and earned my Bachelor of Science Degree in Teaching.
