About the store
I have been a middle school ELA teacher since 2012, teaching at both private and public schools. In the summer, I spend my time teaching 7th grade, 10th grade, and/or advanced and remedial 12th graders in the public and private school system. At my current school, I teach ELA to grades 4-6 and Religion for grades 5-6, where classes are fully inclusive and focus on high standards while integrating the NYS Common Core Learning Standards and modules. I absolutely love my job and teaching all of my diverse students!

The Fighting Ground Vocabulary
Vocabulary is a necessary part to aid in the comprehension of our students, especially in regards to novel comprehension.

The vocabulary terms are separated by the specified times in the novel, allowing any teacher or student to identify specific terms before each reading.

Absent Form
This form allows the teacher to list all important information that the student missed from class that day, along with giving another classmate the opportunity to fill in the information for other classes on the other side of this handout. The main teacher can simply attach this form to the worksheets the student missed in class that day, and then be all set!
This is a quick and easy way to stay organized, especially if allowing a fellow classmate complete this for the absent student.

Quote Starter Posters
Students may struggle using quote starters as they start to learn and continue to use quotes as evidence in their writing. By posting these posters throughout the ELA classroom, or any room that would be beneficial to the students, students would have constant and easy access to various quote starters. I laminated the posters and posted them in my room for the school year, and have noticed students using the posters without prompting.

Student Presentation Critique Packet
Through the use of this graphic organizer, students are given the opportunity to privately critique their peers’ presentations, which, in turn, encourages the students to listen closely to each presentation. To encourage honesty, I collect the critique packets at the end of each class and then redistribute the packet to the students at the start of the next class (if presentations continue). At the end of all student presentations, I collect the packets again and closely read all of the students

Teaching style
I believe that students need to learn at their highest ability, and should also enjoy what they're learning. My students understand that every assignment or activity has a later purpose, which generally leads to an essay and a creative project.
