TEACHING EXPERIENCE

A teacher for 12 years! I have taught 3rd, 4th, and 5th grade in Georgia and Florida.

MY TEACHING STYLE

My teaching style is based on cooperative learning with a whole language approach. I feel that students need a lot of examples and modeling to find their own inspiration. I create my resources from my interactions with my students and where I see that they need improvement, enrichment, and/or practice. Reading and writing are my main focus and most of my products are inspired from these subjects. I love watching my students learn and everything is more fun if it's a game!
