On this tab, you will find resources I've created and used in my own classrooms throughout my master's program experience and beyond. I hope to continue adding resources to this page as I keep creating and refining.
In my phonics forward resource, there are several at-home activities for phonics skills development. This resource is intended to support parents at home who want to further their students' success at school in phonics. This project was designed with adult learners in mind as the facilitator- the directions are explicit, and the activities are brief. This project demonstrates my ability to make connections between adult and k-12 learners. Feel free to print and distribute to your families.
Created during my internship year at Michigan State with some of my peers, this parent resource was aimed at teaching parents about reading fluency. It gives parents several activities they can do with their child at home to work on reading fluency. This project was a culmination of our knowledge about reading and English Language Development. It benefits all families, but could be a great resource for families learning English together too.
Used as a motivational tool for students who struggle to set goals during writing time, this chart is a resource I created while exploring motivation and innovative technology. I created this resource using Canva, and several of my teaching peers have implemented it in their rooms for students who find writing time challenging. Technology can assist us in creating effective visual tools for students- this is an important skill we need to continue developing as more technology becomes available to us as educators.
Throughout my time teaching and my time learning in my graduate classes, one major topic came up over and over again: failure. Failure is important, and some would say necessary, for learning to occur. Part of my master's program was exploring identity and not just failure, but who we allow to fail. Do we give space for all students to fail? Use this infographic to start a discussion at your school about failure. Or, you can put it up somewhere as a reminder to let everyone get the chance to fail (and learn!) This illustrates my ability to take important information and create digestible resources for educators like myself.
