About the store
I am a veteran of the Army, and a lawyer, who after practicing law in one aspect or another for most of my life, found her true calling in teaching. I started teaching college and law school, and found my true passion was sharing my knowledge. I stumbled into a position teaching Civics and Law Studies to middle school children. I am having the time of my life with my students. I love to watch the ah-ha moment on their faces and the happiness they show when they learn a new concept. I have taught middle school for 3 years and am currently starting my 4th year. I like to add games and activities to my classroom because when kids have fun they learn better.

Teaching style
I read a book called Teaching with Love and Logic, I use these guiding principles in my classroom. Provide students a choice, give them a say in how they learn, and make learning fun, and a child will grow. I feel that it helps them focus better on the topics when they know they can make mistakes. When I make mistakes, I tell them. This helps my students know that they to can make mistakes. Mistakes are just another opportunity for learning.
Some of what I post will be teacher led activities and other student lead activities.
