About the store
I have spent 23 years working as a Science teacher then as a physical educator. I have a Master's degree in Special Education and a Doctorate degree in Education. I have worked as a certified athletic trainer for several prominent programs across Georgia. Several years ago I worked with the Georgia Department of Natural Resources Division in creating an objectives based STEAM (Science, Technology Engineering and Math) curricular unit. I wish to share the unit. The unit is complete with hands on lessons divided into subject area and grade level (Biology, Earth Systems, Physics, Physical Education and Art). The Unit also has the new Georgia Science Standards and applicable resources.

Blind Catfish is a fun, engaging lesson/activity that covers habitats and adaptations. In this neat lesson/activity, children can watch the presentation and discuss what adaptations are and how they help an organism survive. If you are in physical education and looking to add some STEAM and/or cross curricular activities, then check this one out. Let me know if you have any questions at dr.outdoornerd@gmail.com or mtimnova@gmail.com. Thanks again for your interest!

This is an active, engaging lesson that I created for all elementary levels. I posted the NGSS standards and since I am in Georgia, I can easily furnish the GA standards as well. This lesson has amazing scenes and pictures covering habitats, organism roles, adaptations and bats! It is complete with lead discussions and a REALLY neat activity at the end. The activity is very suitable for physical education too. I have MANY more things to share so please be patient, as this is my first post and co

Teaching style

Although every learner is different , I believe that most children learn kinesthetically. My style of teaching is very active. I believe that ‘hands on’ mean ‘brains on’ and ‘eyes/ears on’.

Additional biographical information

I have experienced teaching in various subjects and truly enjoy creating new activities so that children can be active and engaged. I think there is no greater responsibility than to improve and learn from each other to better stewards.
