I LOVE school supplies! I get excited at the beginning of each school year as much as my kindergarten students do about using new supplies.

What is your favorite teacher supply or item? Something that you use all the time that others may like to know about?

What is elementary social studies?

What is the one thing you wish you knew as a first year teacher?

I wish I knew that it was okay to be firm and consistent with my students (classroom management 101!). Start the year by being firm and consistent with your students in your decision making, classroom expectations, etc., and that will pay you back all year long!

Giving students brain breaks throughout the day is so important! What are some of your favorites and when do you use them?

I will be having a student teacher join my classroom in August. What do you wish you knew from your mentor teacher when you student taught?
