TEACHING EXPERIENCE

I've been in elementary education for over 10 years! I've worked the littles all the way up to those pre-teens! My PERSONAL favorite has been working with the bigger kids.

MY TEACHING STYLE

I like to talk to my students on a real level. I encourage advocating for yourself, and work hard to promote awareness to my students. I build true relationships with my students and showing that they deserve as much respect as any adult!

HONORS/AWARDS/SHINING TEACHER MOMENT

High Honors upon graduation The best honor is having that connection with my students!

MY OWN EDUCATIONAL HISTORY

I graduated with my Bachelors in 2010. I've learned since then, that the best class I ever took was just being IN the classroom!

ADDITIONAL BIOGRAPHICAL INFORMATION

I'm a mom to the best teacher ever. My kiddo has taught me SO MUCH. I want to transfer all I've learned from students, courses, classes, etc., into something teachers can use in a pinch. I work very hard to research, vet my resources, credit, and be as clear and factual as possible. I do this for 2 reasons: 1.) I seriously just love making material. 2.) It is my hope to have my TPT help with my income. As teachers, we know all too well the struggle that is our paychecks! Thank you for taking the time to visit me, and I hope you find something you love!
