Happily in the Middle
United States
Приєднався 23 тра 2016
I started my career as a Social Science teacher, but my love for education and reading took me back to graduate school where I received a Master's in Language and Literacy and a Specialist in Reading/Language Arts credential. Now, I teach sixth grade language arts and 5th grade Read 180. Honestly, I love it! Middle school is my favorite place to be, and I wouldn't want to teach any other grades.
This channel is a place to share all things teacher related, especially when it comes to supporting English learners in the classroom, but life isn't just about teaching in the classroom! I also love food, fashion, and subscription boxes!

Happily in the Middle | What's In My Pump Bag?
Переглядів 6536 років тому
A look into my pump bag what I take to work every day so I can express milk for my son while I am away. Two things: 1. I realize that there is an issue with the camera when I started talking about keeping a onsie in my bag (a piece of clothing that smells like your baby). In an effort to NOT have to edit that advice out, or refilm the entire video, I just went with it. Oh well. 2. I say "flange...

Teaching English Learners | Observation Charts
Переглядів 6586 років тому
Supporting English learners with scaffolds is key to their success in the classroom. Using observation charts is a great way to access prior knowledge and to frontload knowledge before beginning a new unit or topic of student. I have used these in so many of my lessons, and I have had students engage with observation charts in a variety of ways. I think you'll find this an easy peasy way to sup...

This video contains some general tips that are helpful for connecting with and getting to know your st...
