Find Me on Academia!

Recently I became aware of Academia.edu. It is a site that has logs of free access to a variety of articles and authors that you might otherwise didn't know existed! I was searching for an article that contained some particularly difficult to find Latin text and found it on Academia.edu. 

I have officially built my profile there and uploaded two of my professional papers! You can, as always, access them on this site, but you can also access them there. Happy article hunting!

Spring 2022 Current Projects and Updates

3/25/2022

0 Comments

 
  1. New Series - Working with All Types of Learners
    1. This series will focus on working with learners of various types and the things I do daily to support them. I am currently planning to include the 13 disabled/special education categories as well as gifted learners, ELL learners, and learners with chronic absenteeism. 
    2. This series will not be language specific but examples will come from my Latin and ELL classrooms.
    3. This series will not be focused on pandemic learning, but that will certainly be an aspect I talk about and how I support students in both the physical classroom and in the digital classroom.
  2. Coming Soon - ELL lessons and resources
    1. As I approach the end of my first year officially teaching an ELL class, I plan to put together some of my favourite resources this year and lessons. Some of these will be available here or on my Teachers Pay Teachers account for either free or a fee. Resources so far are set to include:
      1. Gimkit and Blooket links for themed vocabulary
      2. My favourite TPT resources I used this year
      3. How I incorporated an interactive notebook into my plans this year
  3. In Progress - Medea: fabula amoris. I truly hope to have this novella out this year. I am currently working on:
    1. final piece of artwork
    2. glossary

2021-2022 Update - current projects

11/27/2021

0 Comments

 
Well, this year has caught me off guard. I imagined that once I graduated from Saint Mary's I'd have a bit more time and I do, but there are also so many new things, both tiring and exciting, that are happening. I am teaching ESOL this year for the first time and a lot of the time I might have dedicated to writing or creating for my website I use to ensure that my lessons are complete and on level with my kids. You can see some of the things I've been working with here. This is a new portion of my site dedicated to ESOL. I am working to add more things including things I've created and adapted. I will likely be offering some things for free on this site and some things on my Teachers Pay Teachers account. I already have one ESOL item there along with a number of Special/Disabled education items and Latin items. Additionally, I am making more time for my personal passions and life this year for my own physical and mental health. I'm spending more time in the garden (complete with a new small greenhouse), making more art, and trying to read more. 

Long story short... Here is a quick list of new things you may not have seen and things in progress from me :) 
  1. New ESOL portion of website.
    1. Quick links (created)
    2. Blog (in progress)
    3. Readings (in progress)
    4. Resources/Lesson Plans (in progress)
  2. The Expand Your Classics page
    1. This has already been created, but it needs an update! Contact me here with details of things that should be added to this page!
  3. Special Education Research
    1. This has been an on and off project that I keep wanting to add to. In my time at Saint Mary's I did a lot of research that I want to share!
  4. Pondering Petronius
    1. This has admittedly taken a back seat as I adjust to this new year, but more writings are in progress!

I was incredibly lucky to attend the Roman Daily Life summer seminar through Gustavus Adolphus College. My final project, working with Micheal Posey, started as a musing for original stories and a novella and has become a growing project! Check out what we've got below and you can always access it under my "originals" tab. Click the image below for more information
