I am a recent Elementary Education graduate from Kansas State University. In undergraduate courses, my focus was teaching primary literacy skills and an emphasis in social sciences. I received a minor in Anthropology and History and student taught in fifth grade. My experience includes more than a decade of being a camp counselor, volunteering in classrooms, high school shadowing in classrooms, and college practicums. There is a wide variety in age and environments I have worked with students in.
This is my first year teaching and I joined a first grade team. My current position has allowed me to develop and practice teaching strategies for phonics and foundational reading skills. I have enjoyed working with students to build routines and expected strategies for their learning activities. This year I have been using a variety of visual, auditory, tactile, and technological opportunities to expose students to as many words and examples as possible.
The tutoring I was able to do in college led me to Wyzant and I look forward to working with students to help them learn!
