About the store
I have been teaching for over 20 years as both a special education teacher and a reading teacher for K-12. My resources are based on stepping outside the box and teaching with some great movies! "Friday Matinees," will offer literacy lessons, hands-on projects, discussion questions, a unit test, critical thinking discussions, gallery walks, fishbowl activities, and more. These movies will benefit all school age students, depending on the movie you choose and the purpose you want it for. In addition, the featured movies will provide content for history, science, technology, social-emotional learning, and cultural awareness. My resources will be centered around engaging struggling learners to learn and at the same time reduce behaviors.

Teaching style
I use Project Based Learning along with inquiry-based learning to increase critical thinking skills while focusing on reading and writing strategies. Restorative Justice Practice and Trauma-Informed teaching is how I began building relationships with students, and parents for social-emotional learning and behavioral concerns.
Awards & shining teacher moments
Outstanding Staff Award and Founder's Day Award
My own education history
I Have a Master's in Special Education K-12 and Literacy K-12 along with School Building Leadership.
Additional biographical information
I have been teaching for just about 30 years and I am getting ready to retire. I had such a great experience and have used many resources that worked for my students. This seemed liked an easy replaceable second income. I have focusing on teaching ELA, Social Studies, Science, and Social-Emotional learning with movies, project-based learning, Reading and Writing Strategies, and Social-Emotional learning and behavior strategies on my dashboard. Please let me know if I can improve my resources with a growth mindset. I appreciate all of you.
