About the store
I got my start in education through the New York City Teaching Fellows. I taught 5 years in the Bronx at a school for students with emotional disturbance. My students were in grades 3, 4, and 5 with varying ability levels. I am now teaching K-8 inclusion students in Colorado.
I have experience teaching literacy (from pre-primer to about a 5th grade level), math (pre-primer - 5th), science, and social studies--particularly NY geography and history. I also have taken many classes towards dance education in public schools that utilized NYC's Dance Blueprint.

Money Manips: Coin Tiles
The coin manipulatives are great for teaching the value of coins, problem solving with money, and using the hundreds chart to solve problems. Students will learn how to compare money, determine the value of a set of coins, and solve real-world application problems.
Download the file, cut out the coin tiles, laminate, and let your students explore the world of money!!

Hands on Time!
The tools in the Time Manipulative file help use a concrete-representational-abstract approach to teaching time. Students are expected to be able to problem solve using time in 2nd grade. These tools will benefit students just learning how to read a clock in 1st grade as well as students who continue to struggle with telling time in secondary. Print, laminate, and have these manipulatives forever! Make a copy for each student you work with or just a set for small group intervention.

Lenape, Wampum, and Money!
This math and social studies integrated lesson teaches students about Native Americans and their currency. Students compare their currency to ours today, examine pictures of things that were important to the Native Americans, and calculate what they could buy with their wampum using a chart. My students really enjoyed this activity, once they got the hang of the math, and asked to do it over and over again during choice time!

Teaching style
My style is whatever my students need!!! As a special education teacher I must adjust what I'm doing to what works. One hour I may be using graphic organizers and sentence frames to support ELL students. The next hour I may be hopping around on the floor, counting with kindergarten students. The next I may be engaged in a deep discussion about a controversial article with sixth graders!
My own education history
I have my bachelor's in Psychobiology, my masters in Urban Education, and a lot of credits in dance education. I am currently taking classes towards being ELL certified.
