FREEBIE Padlet Informational Page and Permission Form
Do you use Padlet in the classroom? (If not, I highly suggest it!). Even though our parents fill out a district form for technology permission, I like to cover my bases in each area. This form is great because it gets permission and gives parents peace of mind in knowing what their child will be doing with Padlet.

Experience
I am in my twelfth year of teaching this year. I started out in special education where I taught elementary full inclusion in Wisconsin for 9 years, switched to a self-contained middle school classroom when I moved to Florida, switched to self-contained elementary and now am switching to general education with my favorite grade - 5th!
Teaching style
I am a highly structured and organized teacher, probably due to my background in special education (not my OCD tendencies, really). I work hard to personalize my learning and ensure that no matter ability level, students are given high (attainable) expectations. Structure does not mean there is not student driven learning, though! I find that the more clear and concise my rules and routines have become over the years, the more easily the learning can shift to student driven. We do a lot of differentiation in my room and a lot of stations and movement.
Awards & shining teacher moments
Every day that I get to walk in the room and see my students' faces is a shining moment!
My own education history
I moved to Wisconsin from Minnesota in 5th grade. I graduated from a small Christian high school and went on to a small liberal arts college in Milwaukee, WI where I got a BA in psychology. I then discovered that there is not much to do with a BA in psychology and was working as an educational assistant in a special education classroom and fell in love with teaching. I went on the get my special education certification through a liberal arts college in Kenosha, WI, where I also got my master's degree in Education. Upon moving to FL I became certified in General and Special Education and get to teach in the best district in FL - Sarasota.
Additional biographical information
I have a wonderful husband and three beautiful children ages 10, 8, and 4. I love camping and hiking and if you ever can't find me I am either at the beach, reading a book, or both!
