I have taught 6th grade for 2 years. I taught Title 1 4th-6th grade for 2 years, 3rd grade for 7 years, and 2nd grade for 1 year. I was a math interventionist for 4 years. I am currently a reading specialist for grades kindergarten through twelfth and ELL. I teach in VA so most of my products specifically relate to VA, but of course the Common Core is very close to our state standards.
I try to incorporate hands-on and real world experiences. I teach math or reading in small groups. I try to make the rigor much higher on all activities. Basic knowledge is not where I stop.
