About the store
I have enjoyed teaching 3rd grade since the 2008-2009 school year. Prior to teaching third grade, I taught one semester of 4th grade. I enjoy teaching the intermediate aged kids due to their imaginations, ability to think abstractly, and their ability to laugh with me and not at me.

Thirteen Colonies Mnemonic
Memorizing the Thirteen Colonies can be a daunting task for many students. This PowerPoint uses a creative way to teach a memorable story that students will surely remember. Combining Rover (yes, the dog's name) and a boy named Pilgrim, students are taken on a journey in which Pilgrim is constantly working hard to keep his demanding sisters satisfied.
By the end, your students will too be yelling about Rover!

Experience
I have enjoyed teaching 3rd grade since the 2008-2009 school year. Prior to teaching third grade, I taught one semester of 4th grade. I enjoy teaching the intermediate aged kids due to their imaginations, ability to think abstractly, and their ability to laugh with me and not at me.
Teaching style
I love using components of Whole Brain Teaching in my classroom, but also respect and utilize traditional teaching techniques with certain skills and points within units. I believe small group and hands are effective techniques for most students, although there are those who need more support and options in their learning. I love when the students' inquiries and ideas take or learning to places that are relevant, interesting, and unexpected. I feel children learn best when they are invested in the lessons.
Awards & shining teacher moments
I graduated from USI with a magna cum laude Bachelor of Arts. I received multiple awards throughout college for leadership, creativity, and going above and beyond during my student teaching experiences. I am a published poet and enjoy volunteering in my community as a peer mentor, Big Sister, and tutor.

Additional biographical information
As a child, school was my safe place. I will never forget my second grade teacher, Mrs. Towler, who truly showed me what a caring, compassionate teacher can do for a child in desperate need of love and confidence.
I am the proud mom of four beautiful children. Without them, I don't think i would be the teacher I am today. Two of my children have been diagnosed with ADHD and are unmedicated. With their current and past teachers, I have learned many techniques to reach their minds and help them to be successful.
