We will explore what a fraction is, the parts of a fraction, and see fractions with food! We will play a fraction Kahoot!

Teacher expertise and credentials
California Teaching Certificate in Elementary Education
Hi there!
I have been a teacher for 12 years in elementary school and currently teach 4th grade. I have experience working with all grade levels K - 6 and enjoy learning and working with students of any age. I have my Bachelor's Degree in elementary education and teaching credential from Loyola Marymount University. I received my Master's of Science Degree from Mount St. Mary's University where I completed my thesis in math word problem solving. I am a National Board Certified Teacher which means I am certified to teach in any state in the United States.
As a twelve year veteran teacher, I been trained in Common Core, Reader's and Writer's Workshop, and English Language Learner instruction. My students have a 90% pass rate in both math and reading on state standardized tests.
Teaching Philosophy:
I believe every student can learn and grow their brain. My teaching style involves a lot of student discussion mixed with strong modeling and guided practice. I encourage students to share their ideas, ask questions, make mistakes, and try something new. In any class I teach I promote kindness, respect, and having a growth mindset.
Some fun facts about me:
-Before teaching, I was a camp counselor and softball coach for five years
-I was a Girl Scout for 12 years and still work with Girl Scouts Troops today!
-I love Target and Starbucks
-My favorite books are Harry Potter, Boxcar children, and any Read Alouds I do with my class
-My favorite sports are softball, baseball, and volleyball
-My favorite video game: Mario Kart (I always pick Toad as my driver)
What I love to teach:
-All academic subjects but my favorite is Math
-Book talks with popular books (ex. Warrior Cats and Babysitter's Club)
-Celebrating holidays, learning about dinosaurs, and any other fun topic!
-More fun classes in the future!Reviews
