If your district uses Clever to house the apps of adopted programs, this login card makes it helpful to get those logins organized at home and at school. I print the student QR codes off of Clever, cut them out, and glue them onto this editable PDF.

TEACHING EXPERIENCE

I am in my 12th year of teaching. I have taught 2nd, 4th, 5th, and have spent the last 8 years in kindergarten which has proven to be my favorite. I learned to play the guitar and ukulele in my 40's and have loved bringing the joy of each instrument into my classroom daily. I do not have a singer's voice and love to have my class sing louder than me while I play the instrument. I want other teachers who have ever been curious about using the guitar or ukulele in their teaching, that it can be quick and easy to learn.

MY TEACHING STYLE

Teaching to the whole child by incorporating brain breaks, opportunities to get wiggles out, and using the ukulele and guitar in my teaching as much as I can. I've written a few songs that use similar simple tunes and chords that are easy to quickly pick up and use for classroom learning. Each song only uses 3-4 of the same chords.
