Teaching style

Learning should be fun, and so should teaching! I am a visual learner, and find it is a lot easier to explain concepts with a great visual aid to reference. I like to create a lot of supplemental materials to help students grasp the concepts being taught. I do this by making anchor charts, fun worksheets, and projects that tap into my student's interests.
