I teach reading, writing, phonics, and math skills. I enjoy seeing students become stronger readers, writers, and mathematicians. I talk with students about strategies and tools they can use to strengthen their skills. I believe dialogue and conversation is important between students and myself to build a relationship that is based on trust, respect, and the joy to learn. I teach Everyday Math K-2. This includes: addition, subtraction, place value, problem solving, measurement and data, and 2-D and 3-D geometry. I teach Guided Reading which involves using leveled reading books for both narrative and informational texts. This also includes teaching reading strategies to students to strengthen their decoding and comprehension skills. Units of Study for Primary Writers from Teachers College in New York has been a program I have taught to help young students become stronger writers. I teach Wilson Fundations Phonics program K-2 which includes vocabulary and spelling. I am available to talk with families about the different ways I can support and teach their child.
