Hello and welcome to my site for teachers!  I'm a grade five teacher in Ann Arbor, Michigan and also help schools implement best instructional practices and the SIOP (Sheltered Instruction Operational Protocol).  On this site you'll find ideas and resources -- some I've made myself and others I've found online -- that you can use in your own classrooms.  Be sure to check back often -- you never know what kind of fresh ideas you'll find!
