Hi, I'm Brittany!
I taught for 17 years – 17 years!!! – all of them in 6th grade. I think I know 12 year old students pretty well.
During my time in the classroom, I loved history, geography, and math most of all, but I’ve taught every subject under the sun. I love to make things hands-on and thus I often incorporate interactive notebook techniques to a lot of what I do.
