About the store
My background is in the primary grades. I have taught K-2nd in various positions. I have been teaching since 2010. I currently teach 1st grade and love watching how fast my students grow into readers, writers and mathematicians. They teach me far more each day than I can begin to teach them. I love growing with them and designing plans that will meet their varying needs so they can be the best of themselves.

About the store

Experience

My background is in the primary grades. I have taught K-2nd in various positions. I have been teaching since 2010. I currently teach 1st grade and love watching how fast my students grow into readers, writers and mathematicians. They teach me far more each day than I can begin to teach them. I love growing with them and designing plans that will meet their varying needs so they can be the best of themselves.

Teaching style

I like to meet students on their levels by including low, middle and high level teaching throughout my lessons. I like to group students with similar ability levels to help them soar, but at the same time to provide time for interaction/group work with students of varying levels to build a positive classroom community. I feel it is necessary to include as many learning styles as possible for all learners.
