TEACHING EXPERIENCE

I am currently in my 7th year of teaching! I teach 7th-grade language arts. I student taught in a 5th-grade classroom. Teachers spend so much of their hard-earned money on their students and classrooms. That's why EVERYTHING in my store is either $1.50 or FREE!

MY TEACHING STYLE

I teach with many different styles to adapt to all learners. I like my classroom to be democratic, where students always have a choice in their learning. I am big on technology incorporation in my classroom.
