Hands-on learning and teaching of high ESL population.I use the workshop model for Reading, Writing and Math utilizing the gradual release process of teaching with a mini lesson of modeling, guided practice, collaborative learning and independent practice. The collaborative learning consists of small guided groups based on reading levels, pre and post assessments and ability.

I am a young teacher excited about student learning and growing! I love to create engaging, fun lessons for my students so that they love to be at school and feel welcome in my classroom. I love to spend time with my sweet baby, Palmer, cook, listen to music, play sports and hangout with my three labrador retrievers!
