MY OWN EDUCATIONAL HISTORY

ADDITIONAL BIOGRAPHICAL INFORMATION

Good teaching takes time and after years of creating lessons and finding what works in my room, I have units and lessons to share that my students find engaging. These babies are Google classroom and student ready. I love writing curriculum and finding ways to tie in multiple topics and standards. I also believe deeply that Teachers helping each other to cut down on prep time so that they can enjoy the time teaching and the time outside of school is of the utmost importance. Thank you for visiting my shop and for purchasing my work.
