ADDITIONAL BIOGRAPHICAL INFORMATION

My name is Sam and I’m the creator of Chomping at the Lit. My teaching certification is in Secondary Education English (Pennsylvania). In 2015, I student taught high school, grades 9-12, which included AP Literature and Honors English courses. I was then hired full-time, teaching 7th and 8th grade English Language Arts; I stayed at my middle school for 5 years. I'm currently taking some time off from teaching full-time since my second baby was born in March 2021. I still substitute classes at the secondary level, but most days I'm home raising my 2 kiddos. :) Thanks for checking out my store! I hope you enjoy the resources!
