TEACHING EXPERIENCE

I graduated with an Elementary Education degree in May 2011 and have been living my dream of being a teacher ever since. It is still hard to believe that after years of playing school as a kid I finally have a classroom of my own. The products you will find in my store are all products that have been used and tested in my classroom. I love using hands-on and interactive approaches in my instruction and try to make each day unique and fun for my students.

MY TEACHING STYLE

I try to make each day unique and fun for my students! I teach using as many hands-on and interactive approaches as possible!

ADDITIONAL BIOGRAPHICAL INFORMATION

When I am not teaching, I love spending time with friends and family, watching college football, working out, and of course... creating for TPT. In addition to my TPT store, I also post about my products on my blog. I would love for you to check it out! Also, feel free to email me at any time with any questions or comments. One of my favorite parts about blogging and TPT is the chance to connect with amazing teachers from all over the world!
