Teaching style

I love anything and Everything Disney, and I try to make my classroom as fun and creative as possible because of it! My kiddos are always given the opportunity to share and explore new things through technology and inquiry. Because I use Whole Brain Teaching in my classroom, my students are given their expectations from day one and that is the main reason why my classroom management style has been shared and modeled in lots of other classroom in my building. My students are always engaged in every bit of learning or teaching that is going on. Whether it be gestures, mirroring, teaching someone else, or responding to literature my students are never just "sitting there". I feel that students are at school to learn in a way that will be everlasting, so that it why I give my students every opportunity to be taught and teach others in a creative and innovative way.
