1. I have taught for ten years. My first year I was an intervention specialist at a school in Dayton, Ohio for first and third grade. I was also the coordinator for the after-school program (which means I worked until 6:30 every night....it was a LOOONNNG day). I worked as an intervention specialist for grades 4 & 5 my second year of teaching. Unfortunately, the district's levy failed at the end of my second year and I was one of the first to be cut. Thankfully, I was hired as a third grade teacher my third year at a district near Cincinnati, Ohio. I have been there ever since. I LOVE 3rd grade and LOVE my district!
2. Over the years, I have made PowerPoints for all my reading skills that I teach to my third graders. I find myself tweaking (editing, adding, deleting...) the PowerPoint presentations every year, so they are definitely a work in progress. These presentations include a lot of visuals, video clips, and commercials. Every student learns differently, so these PowerPoints help students grasp the skills in a different way.
3. I have two of my own children. But during the school year, I have 20+ children. I make sure all my students feel loved, just like my own children. They mean the world to me!
1. I LOVE COFFEE. My love for coffee started when I worked at Starbucks during my second year of college. I love the taste and smell of coffee. I will actually get a headache by 10am if I have not had a cup of coffee.
2. My dorm room was always packed with people every Thursday night during my first and second year of college. It was will filled with people from 8-8:30 pm once a week for the T.V. show Friends. Best.Show.Ever. Even though I have seen all the episodes a hundred times, I still catch myself laughing out loud every time!
