Hemingway, Margaret Peterson Haddix
Book Study
To complete the text already in use, we will keep going and enjoy it as we make meaning with silly sentences and word work!
Excellence in Everything
Readers respond to others with respect. We listen.
We ask questions.
We make meaning.
We write reflections.
We read more.
About Me
I started in Wake County Schools in 2012.
I have taught ELA, Math, Science, S.S., and led many Brain Breaks! I even created a garden with my classes and helped with field trips for hands-on learning. I am excited to jump into activities with you at DDMMS!
Curriculum
I use WCPSS approved curriculum and lessons for Literacy Essentials. Together, we will make gains as I guide you through Language!Live and a variety of texts. We will focus on reading skills with pieces of spelling strategies, vocabulary building, written expression, and developing quality responses to questions with critical thinking. Hint- I also include art for students with creative minds. In other classes, I support the EL curriculum and help level the playing field with accommodations and modifications to meet individual needs.
My Background
I have been teaching for almost twenty years. I have been a teacher all my life since graduating in 1993. I started teaching in NC in 1996 and am certified in Elementary Education, English Education, Special Education and have Administrative experience as well. My favorite place to be in the classroom!
