When it comes to starting a new endeavor, there’s always a reason to say 'no.' You have to choose to focus on the reasons to say 'yes' instead.

About Michelle

I knew from a very young age that I wanted to become a teacher.
I went to Salisbury University and earned my bachelor’s degree in elementary education.
I began my teaching career as a second-grade teacher at a Title I school.
After three years as a second-grade teacher, I transitioned to teaching fourth grade—I currently teach fourth-grade math, science, and social studies.
In addition to teaching full time, I also run a YouTube channel called "Pocketful of Primary."
I use my YouTube channel to help empower, inspire, and motivate other teachers by sharing applicable classroom strategies.
