About Me

I have over 20 years of experience as a middle childhood generalist, primarily working with elementary-age students. While I have mainly taught fifth graders, I also have several years of experience teaching other grade levels, varying from kindergarten to 12th grade. My resources are aligned with national education standards and tailored to accommodate students' diverse learning abilities from grades 4 to 7. All products have been tested by teachers and approved by students, significantly impacting learning. Furthermore, I am committed to continuous improvement and updates, ensuring that the resources are always up-to-date and relevant. The available resources include tools such as Web Quest projects, Instructional PowerPoints, videos, games, worksheets, and other activities designed to help reinforce fun and interactive skills and concepts.

MY TEACHING STYLE

My main goal as a teacher is to provide my students with the best learning opportunities so they can succeed and thrive. I achieve this by using effective strategies in the classroom to ensure they receive a high-quality education. One crucial and effective strategy is understanding each student's needs. I use this information to create an engaging classroom environment by integrating various learning approaches to meet my student's diverse needs and multiple intelligences. These practices serve as a constant source of inspiration and motivation for me to develop educational materials that are both enjoyable and engaging.

 

Another effective classroom strategy is a student-centered approach. Students in my classroom help establish classroom rules at the beginning of the school year and frequently engage in inquiry-based learning. These strategies allow students to take ownership of their learning and classroom governance, which builds self-esteem and increases motivation, unity, and collaboration within the classroom.

About My Products

Being a National Board-Certified Teacher, utilizing best practices in the classroom is a maximum priority. Being inspired by best practices motivated me to create fun and engaging products. As a result, all resources align with national standards in education. While aligning resources with standards, I create fun, educational, and highly interactive products that are culturally sensitive and meet all students' multiple intelligences. Resources range from Kindergarten to 7th grade in this store. All products are teacher-tested and student-approved. In addition, these resources offer a high degree of student interaction and engagement with content and subject matter that constantly reinforce knowledge and challenge thinking. The impact on learning is astronomical.

Finally, research shows that students need extensive practice to gain essential skills and concepts. Unfortunately, though, motivating students to engage long-term can be pretty challenging. Therefore, the products in my store provide many resources to support students in all content areas. Resources include Web Quest projects, PowerPoints, videos, games that teach and reinforce skills, worksheets, and other activities that strengthen and teach skills and concepts. Moreover, these resources are easy to use as they align with curriculum standards. For example, the mathematical resources align with most textbook publishers and all mathematical skills/concepts taught. Product resources are perfect for in-person or virtual classroom learning while accommodating Google Classroom, whole-class/Smartboard, small group, or individual practice at school or home. In addition, these resources are well-maintained and frequently updated to ensure efficiency.
