About the store
I am currently an ESE Specialist for my district. Prior to this, I taught Gifted students (GATE) at four schools in Florida for several years. Prior to that, well, I spent more than 20 years during which I taught almost all grade levels, special needs and general education, and worked as a reading coach, an instructional coach and an assistant principal. I've been working in the school system since 1998.

Coordinate Plane Bingo Cards
These cards go with my Coordinate Plane Bingo game, but can be used any time you need a random way to select points to be plotted on the coordinate plane. They are best when printed on blank, pre-perforated business cards, but can be printed on card stock, cut out and laminated for long-lasting use.
These cards cover the range from (-9,10) to (-9,-9) and (10,10) to (10,-9) to match the 3-dimensional board created in my Coordinate Plane Bingo game. If you haven't seen it, check it out!

Coordinate Plane Bingo
This is the instructions to build a hands-on coordinate plane game, as well as the grids needed to make a printable version. The coordinate cards are located in a separate file (because I just couldn't figure out how to combine them on here without botching up the formatting!). You don't need both to play, as you can make up your own points for the grid, however, the cards will make your life a lot easier, and make for easy set-up of this game in a center or station.

Teaching style
I believe the key to being an effective teacher is the relationship you develop with your students. To that end, I worked hard to create a classroom that was a warm, welcoming, colorful and happy environment, and I strived to develop lessons and activities that were fun and engaging, which made students want to come to my class. Then, I topped it off with exciting novels which we read together and talked about. I had a lot of fun teaching, and loved my job. I hope that the activities I have created will help you love yours too.
Awards & shining teacher moments
Hmm. I was runner-up for teacher-of-the-year once. Does that count?
Even better - I had a middle school student come to Open House at my elementary school just to see me and say, "What you taught me has really helped me a lot!" That was a big honor!

Additional biographical information
I am an empty-nester single mom, with two children in college, currently working as an ESE Specialist, and treasurer of the local teacher's association, in addition to teaching the 9-10 year old primary class in church. I don't have a lot of time to add to my TPT store these days, but I'm happy to do anything I can to support the folks that are still buying the things I've created. I sincerely hope one day I'll have the opportunity to add a lot more to my offerings.
