About Me
I was born and raised in Texas. I lived in Portland, Oregon for 4 years and moved back to Texas in August of 2021. I am a former elementary teacher of 8 years and took the past school year off to move back to Texas help my family and find a different path for my passion for education.
Experience
I was a teacher in Texas for four years and a teacher in Oregon for four years. I taught 1st grade for five years, 2nd grade for 2 years and Kindergarten for one year. I taught full-time online and also did Hybrid teaching during the period of the pandemic from April 2020- June 2021. I taught all subjects that include; Reading, Writing, Phonics, Math, Science, Social Studies and Social Emotional Learning.
Approach
My teaching approach starts with building a positive relationship/rapport with my students because I believe it helps with creating a comfortable learning space. I like to get to know my students interests and hobbies in order to integrate them into lessons or use as an incentive for positive behavior. It's important to build a positive relationship that is based off of trust and communication with student's parents as well.
