About the store
I have taught English for grades 8, 9, 10, 11 and 12. I have also taught Intensive Reading for 9 and 10 as well as Creative Writing. I moved to the ESE Department in the 2017/18 school year to provide additional support for teachers and students in the sophomore English classroom, which I loved! Tenth grade is my favorite grade because I really notice maturity growth in them from their Freshman year. Additionally, at this time students are also really beginning to hone their critical thinking skills and begin asking some tougher, outside of the box, questions. However, in May of 2024 my husband and I welcomed our first child and I resigned from the district to raise our son. I still have many resources to organize and will continue to post new lessons and units. :)

Teaching style
I like to mix independent work with group collaboration. There is a time where brainstorming and bouncing ideas off of each other is invaluable, but then, as we gradually release, the students need to each fly on their own. I try to make everything relevant to their lives, no matter if it's an informative writing assignment or reading Shakespeare, it all can all apply to them in some way.
Awards & shining teacher moments
Watching students wrestle with, conquer, and grow from challenging material is the best reward!
When I self-published my novel, a former student drew the cover illustration--a decade after I had her for Creative Writing her Senior year! I love that I am able to keep in touch with some of my students; watching them blossom into responsible adults is a blessing
My own education history
I graduated from Hillsborough Community College with my AA in 2003 and then went onto the University of South Florida Tampa to earn my Bachelor's in English with a concentration in creative writing. I graduated with my Bachelor's in 2005. I am a lifelong learner and reader and am always seeking out new bits of information.
Additional biographical information
I am a lifelong bibliophile and find no past time more enjoyable! Born and raised in Florida, I enjoy beaches, rivers and warm weather. In February of 2022, I checked off one major personal goal when I self-published my fiction novel, The Tale of the Starbreather's Realm. It is available on Amazon as a paperback and a Kindle ebook! You can find me online at mdsaintswrites.com where I post teacher blogs and have a Free Little Resource Library (of lessons not available in my TpT store) for subscribers. :)
