Thanksgiving Break Share-Out (FREE!)
This is the perfect bell ringer or short activity coming back from Thanksgiving Break! I know sometimes we’re a little tight on time (trying to finish a unit, modified schedules, etc.), but it’s always good to spend a little time, even just 5 minutes, to ease students back in.

Experience
I found success teaching 8th grade English Language Arts for three consecutive years. I also have experience teaching at the 6th grade and 10th grade levels.
Teaching style
While my focus is to differentiate instruction and to challenge and support all levels in reading and writing (and speaking and listening), I promote and incorporate social emotional learning (SEL) as well. I am all about teaching the whole student.
Awards & shining teacher moments
At the end of my first year teaching 8th grade ELA, I received an award from my school nominated by the students.
My own education history
I graduated from the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign with my bachelor's degree in English and Secondary Education. I recently earned my endorsement in ESL (Teaching English as a Second Language) through the University of St. Francis as well.
