About the store
I have been teaching for the past 19 years in a variety of school settings across the United States and overseas to include New Mexico, Florida, Pennsylvania, and Germany. I have taught first, second, third, fourth, and fifth grades. My home has been in third grade the past four years and I hope to stay put. Most of my experience has been working in Title I rural school settings. I love my job even after all of these years and feel blessed to have a career that is so rewarding.

Your students will love making an estimate about how many equal pieces are inside their whole mandarin orange.

I hope you enjoy this.

Teaching style
I embrace a student-centered, active learning environment. I believe differentiated, small group instruction is for all elementary grade levels and try to implement a workshop framework for both reading and math using the Gradual Release of Responsibility model. I believe in hands-on, minds-on learning.
