I'm a former K-4 teacher from Kansas City, MO. I have previously taught Kindergarten, a K-3 behavior program, full-year virtual 3rd grade, and 4th grade ELA. I am currently staying home with my 3 year old son and creating resources and professional development to still make an impact in classrooms.
My teaching style includes hands-on, engaging and technology based curriculum, while meeting grade level standards.
Melissa runs conferences every year for upper elementary math and ELA teachers to help them be successful. She has been running professional development for 3 years.
I have a Bachelor’s Degree in Elementary Education and a Master’s Degree in Curriculum and Instruction. I am also working towards a Master's Degree in ESOL.
I have been married for 2 years, and we have a 3 year old son. Blog: That One Cheerful Classroom. You can join my email community to receive more classroom tips and freebies by going to my blog! Need to get in touch with me? Use the Q&A or email me at melissa@thatonecheerfulclassroom.com
