ORGANIZATION . We all know the word and strive to achieve it, but sometimes still are left flustered with ideas and things piled up in every which way. As a busy teacher, you know what I’m talking about! I find that the more organized I am in the classroom, the more organized my students become…not just with their physical materials, like desktop bins and folders, but also with their ideas, how they learn, and how they demonstrate their knowledge.  Kelly and I share this passion of striving to be highly organized, and after working so closely together for the past 3 years, we finally found a system that keeps us as teachers as well as our students more organized in everything that takes place in our classrooms.

Learning, creating and teaching others has always been a huge part of who I am, and I have known I wanted to be a teacher my whole life. My biggest passion in the classroom is teaching students to read and exposing them to a whole new world that can be opened up through literacy, especially those students who face additional challenges. I love sharing this passion with other teachers as well, and I am almost finished with receiving a Master’s degree in Educational Administration in hopes of exploring different avenues of school leadership in the future. When I am not teaching students in the classroom, I am an avid home instructor.
