TEACHING EXPERIENCE

I am the author of "The Gingerbread Twins" and "No Wet Feet for Quincy". Look for the book companions and mini books in my shop.

I started my teaching career in 2007 after graduating with a Master's Degree in Elementary Education. I have 13 years of public school teaching experience. I began my career teaching Kindergarten for four years. Then I switched grades and have been teaching 4th-grade ELAR for the last nine years.

During my time as an educator, I have mentored fellow teachers, hosted high school interns, dedicated time to numerous committees, and everything in between.

MY TEACHING STYLE

I enjoy teaching engaging, hands-on, and innovative lessons with lots of love and humor mixed in! Building genuine relationships with my students and their families is one of the highlights of my day!

HONORS/AWARDS/SHINING TEACHER MOMENT

● National Teacher of the Year Award
This was a complete surprise, as I created an innovative product using funds from a grant.

● District Super Teacher Award

MY OWN EDUCATIONAL HISTORY

Degrees:
● Bachelor's Degree in Elementary Education
● Master's Degree in Elementary Education & Reading
● Master's Degree in Library Science

Certificates:
● Gifted & Talented Certification

Basically, I love learning!

ADDITIONAL BIOGRAPHICAL INFORMATION

Some of my product lines come directly from my travel experiences around the world. I get so excited about enhancing the reading and writing curriculum by incorporating my travels into my classroom! Also, my love of photography appears in my work as authentic pictures to support reading passages. I hope these products inspire your students to dream big!

● Fun Fact: I've traveled to every continent except Antarctica!

● Come join me on my teacher IG @the.teacher.tourist or my author IG at @reneehayesbooks
