This is my 9th year teaching in an NC Title I public school! I have taught 2nd, 3rd, 4th, 5th and 6th. I have the privilege of teaching math to 75 wonderful students this year and I am loving every minute of it.
I use a lot of group work and small group instruction in my classroom. I also give my students a lot of opportunities to 'self discover' information, rather than teaching it to them direction. I feel that each child is in charge of their own education and it is up to them to be determined to learn. We are a 1:1 school and I have used tons of technology in my instruction this year. My favorite is using paperless activities. The students are WAY more engaged and soak in more of the content when they are learning and interacting together on a chromebook.

I am a mother...a wife...and a teacher. Having a happy life and being able to feel successful at all three is all about--balance! I was born and raised in NC and plan on staying in NC forever! Being a typical southern girl, I like sweet tea, home cookin' and front porch sittin'...when I can find the time. I have two beautiful daughters and a hard working husband. I have recently discovered my LOVE for creating things for TPT. I'm {slowly} working on creating and building my store. You can't eat an elephant in one day...right?!?
