It doesn't seem possible, but I have been teaching for 9 years! I began my career as a Kindergarten teacher in an extended day setting. I taught Kindergarten for 2 years. The other 7 years I have been in a first grade classroom. My first 4 years of teaching were in an extended day school in a major city. My last 5 years, I have been in teaching in a suburban school district.

Word Work Packet for Sorts

Created by
Seriously First
Students are held accountable for completing learning activities with their spelling sorts. It is also a good way to show and communicate with parents about what words students are working on in the classroom! These activities are easy for students to independently complete while you are working with a small group of spellers.

Experience

It doesn't seem possible, but I have been teaching for 9 years! I began my career as a Kindergarten teacher in an extended day setting. I taught Kindergarten for 2 years. The other 7 years I have been in a first grade classroom. My first 4 years of teaching were in an extended day school in a major city. My last 5 years, I have been in teaching in a suburban school district.

Teaching style

I would say that I am "serious" about making sure all of my students grow and meet their goals. I focus on creating a strong classroom community and structured routines, so that my students feel safe to learn, grow, and explore their thinking.

Awards & shining teacher moments

I have been honored to speak at several Professional Development sessions within my district. I am also happy to be serving on my district's Language Arts Committee as well as the School Improvement Team. I have been awarded the "90% Growth" award from my previous school. This award was given to me for having 90% of my students grow a year and a half according to their NWEA MAP scores.
