TEACHING EXPERIENCE

Welcome! I started teaching middle science in 2014. Since then, I have taught grades 5-8 and loved (almost) every minute of it. I am here to share the resources I use in my own classroom to take some planning off of your plate. Some of my resources are science specific, but some can be used by any discipline.
