I taught Kindergarten for 4 years, right after I graduated college. It was the most perfect start to my career and I loved every second of it-although learning to teach Kindergarten online was a whole other level of education for them and I! I then moved to Fifth Grade when I moved to the city my fiance was living in. While a big switch, I have loved every second of Fifth Grade, too. I have been in Fifth Grade the last 4 years and have learned so much each year. I figured out a couple of things that work for me and wanted to share them since I have benefitted from so many creative teachers in my career so far!
I started making resources that are self checking last year-perfect for when you're teaching small groups and kiddos are working at their seats, or really, a variety of other times! This way allows them to check any computation errors or their own work independently.
