Currently, I am teaching fourth grade, but have taught first, second, and third grades as well.

I use Reading and Writing Workshop to teach Language. I use Guided Math (small groups) to teach Math. I integrate Science and Social Studies when I can. You will find lessons and activities in my shop that align with these teaching styles.
