About the store
I am in my 17th year of teaching. I have experienced the thrill of teaching in a school that has gone through many changes since I began. From starting out with three third grade teachers on our team (about 75 third graders), to an amazingly challenging growth of having twelve third grade teachers (about 1800 students school wide), and back to about half that now. As if this wasn't enough excitement, I decided to teach internationally in China and Albania. It has been a ride! I've learned how to be a leader and flexible team member, as well as how to manage my time so I can take my teaching to a new level.

A House Full of Geometry!
I used this as an assessment for geometric terms while I was teaching online, but it could easily be adjusted for a classroom setting. My students loved being able to walk around and discover geometry all around them! It covers the following geometric terms: parallel lines, perpendicular lines, acute angle, right angle, obtuse angle, line of symmetry, and polygons. Students need to have a basic knowledge of these terms. Comes with teacher directions and options for how to use. Have fun!

Additional biographical information
My father's chosen career was education, so it was instilled in me at an early age that learning was important. I come from a large family where seven out of the twelve of us have also chosen education as our careers. To be a part of so many children's lives is a gift.
