Literary and Informational Reading Response Choiceboard
As students read fictional and non-fictional books, they will be able to select a reading response to show that they can apply skills such as summarizing, retelling, comparing, analyzing, finding text evidence, completing thinking maps, answering questions, and more to meet Common Core Standards and Danielson Framework of allowing students choice.

Experience
Kids make me laugh!
Teaching style
My students enjoy hands-on learning the most. Promoting process art, using Choice boards, encouraging student voice and student choice, incorporating technology such as iPads and the Smartboard keeps little ones engaged and excited about learning. I love a pop of color as an eye-opener all over the classroom without being overly-stimulating. Each year brings new creatures for studying from tadpoles, mealworms, and caterpillars to guinea pigs and hermit crabs. I believe in developing the whole child and finding the gift in all of us. I hope to make lasting memories for my students as we support each other through learning, laughing and whatever comes our way!
