About the store
I started out as an elementary music teacher that also worked with the high school band program. Later, I decided to focus on my elementary program, but after 16 years, budget cuts caused our county to cancel the program. So, I began teaching reading and language arts to 3rd graders at my school. Quite a switch! There is still a lot of rockin' and readin' that goes on in my classroom. My life in education has been like a tapestry, rich with a lot of different experiences. I hope that you can see my love for teaching and for music in the products in my store. Thanks for stopping by to visit!

Multiple Meaning Word Game
Great Activating Strategy! Get your students thinking about words with more than one meaning, start your lesson, and assign partners all at once. Each student receives a sentence with a missing word. They have to search among their classmates and find another student with a sentence that can be filled in with the same word as their missing word. Once they have found their parnters, you can assign them a new activity of your choosing or one of the other multiple meaning activities I have posted
