Instead of leaving my 4th grade teaching position upon graduating in 2012, I stayed on as the TA through the end of the school year. The school then hired me as a 5th grade teacher, so I was lucky enough to work with the same kids for another year! I've been teaching 5th grade ever since. After teaching every subject (and more) for a few years, we departmentalized. Now I teach ELA and US History and serve as a SIT member and PLC lead.

This graphic organizer prompts students to list the wolves' actions at the beginning of the story vs. the end, along with the pig's actions. It then provides a space for them to draw conclusions, based on character change and to choose a theme that represents the story. It also leaves a space for them to choose a quote as evidence of their theme. I use this right before having them write a paragraph about the theme of the story, using evidence from the text.

About the store

Experience

Instead of leaving my 4th grade teaching position upon graduating in 2012, I stayed on as the TA through the end of the school year. The school then hired me as a 5th grade teacher, so I was lucky enough to work with the same kids for another year! I've been teaching 5th grade ever since. After teaching every subject (and more) for a few years, we departmentalized. Now I teach ELA and US History and serve as a SIT member and PLC lead.

Teaching style

I prefer hands-on and discovery-based learning. I believe it is so important to know each student on a personal level and implement many strategies to make my classroom a safe and inviting place for all. I am a huge supporter of Restorative Practices, social justice, and authentic learning experiences.

My own education history

I graduated from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill in 2012. I majored in Elementary Education with a focus on Spanish and the Arts.

Additional biographical information

I am an active member of my school's Equity Team, creator of our drama club, and I serve as the 3-5 Social Studies representative for the school.
