숫자로 동물원 그리기: 숫자를 사용하여 동물 그리는 방법!

Hello, all!  My name is Melissa Tidmore, mother of 3 wonderful children and a wife to an awesome husband.  I have a degree in Business Administration and my certification in education to teach all subjects grades k-8.  I graduated college with the title of "most outstanding student" in the school of business and have always loved school! I worked for 7 years as a public school math and science teacher and 5 more tutoring on an individual and small group basis.  My main areas of focus are secondary math, but I have taught all levels.  I LOVED teaching in the school system but left the education field to stay home with my children.  I have since been homeschooling my own children as well as teaching secondary math in several co-ops in my area.  I have taught all grades from K-Algebra 2!  I particularly enjoy showing children that subjects such as math are not only applicable but also can be understandable and fun.  In class, I often say "math should make sense."  I love seeing the "light-bulb moment" for my students and I hope that they also walk away with an enjoyment that they may not have had before.  

In addition to my Business degree, I also have a license as a cosmetologist-although it is more of a hobby these days.  For a short while, I was in this field full time and still enjoy it as a hobby.  I enjoyed creating off-the-wall styles, worked in runways shows and was in a magazine featuring Avante Garde styles.  Though I have all but hung up my shears, you will still see me playing with hair any chance I get.  

My hobbies include teaching, reading, gardening, doing crafts of all kinds, crochet, hair, and spending time doing anything adventurous and fun with my family.  I especially love outdoor activities!  

I truly try to have fun in all that I do and I feel that a smile is never wasted.  I hope to see you and your student in my class soon!
