About the store
Having taught middle school for 19 years now, my teaching experience is still evolving. In the beginning, teaching 8th grade English was a challenge. The English credential got me the job, but teaching science is where I needed to be. After four years a position opened and a dream came true. Since then it's all about Life Science. I like to call it... Biology 101. The most important class to teach.

Perfect for science vocabulary or any topic where new vocabulary is important.

Experience

Having taught middle school for 19 years now, my teaching experience is still evolving. In the beginning, teaching 8th grade English was a challenge. The English credential got me the job, but teaching science is where I needed to be. After four years a position opened and a dream came true. Since then it's all about Life Science. I like to call it... Biology 101. The most important class to teach.

Teaching style

Teaching with a heart AND brain is my teaching style. In the spirit of a "grandmother" patting her grandchildren on the back saying, "good job!". I find my style is changing with the times. Students in my class are moving around and experiencing many different venues; I use a traditional classroom, we have a science lab, a garden lab, a computer lab and go on field studies.
