Certified substitute teacher focused on early childhood education, with experience across Pre-K to 3rd grade classrooms. I adapt quickly to diverse classroom settings, ensuring continuity of learning in each grade level I serve. My primary responsibilities include:- Instructional Support: Deliver pre-planned lessons or create engaging instructional activities on short notice, adapting for different learning styles and developmental stages. Lessons may be taught in whole group, small group, or one-on-one instruction.- Classroom Management: Maintain a positive and structured environment, using age-appropriate behavior strategies and routines to support learning.- Student Engagement: Foster student participation through hands-on activities, discussions, and age-appropriate learning tools. I often incorporate early literacy techniques such as phonemic awareness, phonological awareness, and reading comprehension activities. Additionally, I teach students lessons on foundational math skills using techniques like story-based math problems using hands-on activities and manipulatives.- Collaboration: Communicate with permanent teachers and staff to provide feedback on student progress and any special needs observed during my time in the classroom.

As a kindergarten teacher at a Christian school, I provided a nurturing and engaging learning environment for young children, fostering their academic, social, and emotional growth. I designed and delivered structured lesson plans that incorporated foundational skills in literacy, numeracy, and critical thinking, encouraging students to explore their creativity and curiosity through hands-on activities and exploration. Additionally, I integrated faith-based values and principles, encouraging students to explore and deepen their faith in a supportive environment. I focused on building strong relationships with students and their families, promoting a sense of community and collaboration within the classroom. My responsibilities included designing lesson plans, assessing student progress, managing classroom dynamics, and facilitating effective communication with parents. Through my dedication to creating a supportive and inclusive atmosphere, I empowered students to develop a love for learning and a strong foundation for their future educational journey.
