About the store

Experience

I have been educating children for 20 years and every year is a new and exciting adventure. I have taught 3rd and 4th grade and am currently teaching 4th grade science and social studies. I am our school's School Improvement Team Secretary, PTO Treasurer, and Reading Renaissance Elementary Chairman. I also plan and organize annual talent shows.

Teaching style

After a whole group lesson, as a facilitator, I create several activities and provide the classroom with materials and an outline, placing the motivation on students to complete assignments individually or in groups. I roam around the classroom to help facilitate thoughts about the subject matter. As a facilitator, I trust students to help their peers and obtain answers mostly on their own. At the end of each activity, we gather for a discussion about our findings.
