About the store
Experience
I am an English teacher on my tenth year of teaching in public education. In this store you will find engaging, hands on activities for students that require them to create, collaborate, communicate, and think critically.
Teaching style
I am a teacher who believes in creating life-long learners. I want to make learning fun so that my students look forward to coming to school each day. I want the children to leave the classroom every day excited and wondering what they will be doing tomorrow. Above all, I want each student to feel that they can, and will, be successful in middle school. I want my students to always put forth their best efforts. When students leave my classroom, I want their experience with learning to be an experience they will never forget.
