She shares her background in elementary education, curriculum and instruction with a reading emphasis, and notes this is her 16th year teaching and eighth year at Richard, including certification in Lexia about two years ago. She describes a typical day starting with morning meeting and literacy, followed by recess, snack, lunch, rest time, and afternoon math, science, social studies, and specials, plus community building through classroom meetings, table groups, Goddard Gold, free choice, and desk pets. For literacy, she uses Really Great Reading phonics, learning heart and sight words, literacy stations, and apps including Lexia Core 5 and Really Great Reading on the playground, and mentions Arts and Letters for deeper literature. She also covers curriculum and assessments, including NWEA testing three times a year for both reading and math and MWEA Imagine Math for hands-on math, with science and social studies units and related learning platforms like Clever.
