Description
Welcome, K-2 Teachers! My name is Kara Rickman, and I'm a 25-year first-grade teacher with a passion for helping fellow colleagues develop their craft in teaching cross-curricular. If you want to take your classroom to the next level for your students, check out my podcast episodes! I will share all about how to easily teach cross-curricular and help your students make better connections! You will learn how to use the gradual release of responsibility using the "I DO, WE DO, YOU DO" cross-curricular approach with reading, math, science, writing, and social studies!
