About me

Hi, all!

My name is Danielle. I am a senior at UNCW studying Elementary Education. Even though I am a senior I still have 3 semester left until graduation. This is my 3rd year at UNCW, as I first went to a community college in Kirkland, Ohio before moving to North Carolina and transferring to UNCW. 

I live in Sneads Ferry and  have for a little over 2 years now. I moved here to be closer to my sister and at the time just nephews and to help her out since her husband is in the marines and always gone. I am orginally from a VERY small town about an hour east of Cleveland. I spent alot of time in Downtown cleveland going to Indians and Cavs games, and miss being able to go whenever I wanted to!

Aside from being a full time student I work full time also. I work part time as a nanny to two of the sweetest kids, Olivia (5) and Max (1), the other half of the time I work as an office manager for their parents Masonry company and I LOVE both of my jobs. When not working I spend time with my boyfriend, and family. I love spending time with my 2 nephews and niece. They are just the sweetest. I also sell Scentsy so that takes up a good part of my time. I also enjoy working out and laying by the pool reading at my apartment complex. haha

I think that pretty much says everything about me that I can think of. I'll add some pictures of my cute niece and nephews because they are just too cute not to share :)

I hope everyone has a great semester! I look forward to "meeting" all of you! Best of luck!

Lost Teeth Video Many people don't usually lose a lot of teeth before the age of 5 (kindergarten) most of the time but the older they get the more teeth they have probably lost. They are realizing this so the teacher wants her students to make predictions on what they think their data will tell them about each grade.  Do you remember losing your first tooth?  The insight I get about the children's thinking about why the ranges would be different is the students thought that the range would be lower in the lower grades but the higher grades actually had the lower range of number of teeth lost. This is because some peoples teeth like to stay longer than others but once they get to a certain age they will have lost multiple teeth because we need to grow our adult teeth.  I think it is important that the students are able to state the highest and lowest numbers in their data. I also think its important that they are taking into account the students who don't kn...

Coordinate Grids The websites that I explored were:  Gregs Grid Graphs- I thought this site was a good one. It has the student first figure out the coordinates by matching the letters to the coordinates. The it shows the points with letters and the students need to write out the coordinate. One thing I notices though is that it states that the coordinates are written with parentheses but when the site has you write out the coordinates it doesn't allow enough typing to do so. This could confuse students in the long run and not use parentheses.  Stock the Shelves- I think students would think this is a fun game to play. It makes you be completely accurate on clicking your points, if you are even a little bit in the box and not on the center of the 2 lines it counts it wrong. This is something that students could do to practice to make sure they are understanding where coordinates are. This also includes negative coordinates so it would probably be better for students wh...

Pentomino Activities Before going on the website to do this activities I thought they were going to be super easy. Boy was I wrong. It took me multiple tries to figure out 1 way to get them to work on the easy level. I tried multiple times for a good 10 minutes on the medium level. I even asked my boyfriend to come try and he also had a hard time and ending up giving up after a couple tries. This made me feel a little better about not being able to figure it out. haha One thing I did notice doing this activity was that if i was able to use certain pentominos more then once it would be a lot easier to do. But that isn't the case. I tried the hard one once just to see what it looked like and as you can guess I was unable to figure it out. I became very frustrated with the petomino spatial activities as I tried several times and just couldn't figure it out. I feel like if it is hard for me how can I expect my elementary students to be able to do it. If I had them do activities ...
