About Me

Experience Summary

I have over 8 years teaching experience. I mostly taught science to grades 5-7! I also tutored 5th grade math - Sessions 1-3; Math FCAT Saturday Camp - 5th grade - 3 1hour sessions and Science FCAT push for 5th grade - Saturday Camp! I taught all subjects when I taught 5th grades: reading, math, science, social studies, grammar, and how to be an organized student.

Teaching Style

I teach bell-to-bell which means I keep my classroom busy from the time they enter my class until class is over. I utilize PanaBoard and Promethean boards for all Science and Math PowerPoints that were created by me. (I have over 1,000 PowerPoints for all subjects!) I also use Brainpop to excite the students and that they have a good idea of what they will be learning.

My Hobbies

My hobbies are simple - I like to swim, cook, and golf. I also like to work on my computer.
