I use this reading guide with every book I use in guided reading. It has an introductory question, which you can use to assess background knowledge. There are boxes for vocabulary so students can have a reference for those Tier 2 words. On the back I always put an "I can..." statement, text dependent questions, and graphic organizers related to our strategy focus. I'll be uploading some of these graphic organizers later! I just like the consistency from book to book.

Experience

I have taught Fifth Grade Science and Fifth Grade self-contained classroom. All my teaching experience is in Title 1 schools and I have training and experience teaching English Language Learners.

Teaching style

I am a very personable teacher, although the fact that more than 75% of my students are English Language Learners pretty much shapes my teaching style. I like multisensory approaches, realia, movement, experiments, videos, going outside, vocabulary introductions, word walls, more vocabulary review, and then some vocabulary. Oh...and long walks on the beach :)

Awards & shining teacher moments

Last year I was not voted to kiss a pig during a pep rally. That is the highest honor I could ask for.

Additional biographical information

I want to provide a bunch of free resources that can be used by many. None of my products are going to be the cutest or pun-niest, but my goal in creating a store on TpT is just to share some of my self created resources. I spend too much time creating resources for them to benefit only my class.
