Hello! I am Missy. 
I have been a teacher for the past 19 years. I have taught every grade 1st-8th (with the exception of 2nd grade). Currently, I am an Instruction Coach and work with teachers to help build curriculum, foster relationships with students, and add rigor to their lessons for comprehension and student engagement. I have a Master's Degree in Curriculum and Instruction and I enjoy creating lessons for students that connect to real-life experiences. I truly believe that all students can learn, we all just may learn in a different way. I love the challenge of taking a lesson and creating multiple ways to teach it so that all students can access the content. I am a mother to three hockey-playing boys and we spend a lot of time in rinks (oddly enough I do not like being cold). My youngest son is dyslexic and I am always trying to find new ways to teach him. I take the same determination to help him be successful in my classroom to help others because I know that all students deserve a teacher who believes in them! 
I am an avid reader and I love to be creative! I use my Cricut machine daily and I cant not wait to share my ideas with others. I will be teaching many different types of classes from reading strategies that work, study skills, note-taking, book discussions, and even how to create your own t-shirt designs. I am looking forward to the opportunity to share my passion for teaching and creativity with you and your child.
