I've taught first grade, 2nd grade, and am currently teaching 3rd grade. I love teaching primary grades and making a difference. I create materials that engage my students in critical thinking, building background knowledge, creativity, and that provide experiences that they may never have in our rural town.
Teaching with a focus on literacy skills: vocabulary, comprehension, phonics, and fluency provides focused, explicit, and purposeful instruction. Using high interest topics and technology ensures student engagement without the fuss or fluff we sometimes feel pressured into. Students enjoy and remember lessons that are on interesting topics and allow them to be creative.
