Add Me as a Friend!
Discovery Elementary School
Class Information:
Room Number: 22
Students per Class: 25
Class Description:
I have 25 wonderful third graders who smile everyday! I teach at a low-income school and as you can imagine these students have more challenges in their lives than any child should ever have to face. Learning is hard for many of my students and I am doing all I can to help them succeed. I have a very diverse classroom with many languages, cultures, and academic level. I have many students still learning English, students on Individual Education Plans, and students on 504plans. These kids face challenges but I know they can be successful!
Position:
3rd grade teacher
Needs:
Technology is going to help me engage and motivate my students in all academic areas.
My Philosophy:
A challenge is not an excuse and it is my job to show a child the difference. I believe a child just needs someone to believe in them and they will surprise everyone of what they are capable of.
Personal Information:
About Me:
I'm 23 years old. This is my second year teaching and my second year at Discovery Elementary. Last year I taught kindergarten and this year I am teaching third grade.
College and Degrees:
I graduated from Washington State University with a BA in Elementary Education in May of 2008.
Favorite Books:
Three Cups of Tea, The Boy Who Was a Helicopter, Love that Dog, The Giving Tree, Pete and Pickles... my list is really long! :0) You can't be a teacher and hate books!
Favorite Quotes:
"A school is a building with four walls and tomorrow inside." "If you find a path with no obstacles, it probably doesn't lead anywhere" “Tellme and I'll forget; show me and I may remember; involve me and I'll understand.” “Ifa child can't learn the way we teach, maybe we should teach the way they learn.” (I will get who these quotes are by on here soon)
Why Do I Teach?:
I teach to motivate children to believe in themselves. I teach to inspire them. I teach to encourage them. I teach to insure that children hear from at least one person that they can make their dreams come true regardless of the poverty, trauma, and other challenges they may face in their lives. I teach because I get to make a difference in the lives of at least 25 children every year. I teach because if I can inspire a child to believe in themselves, they will inspire others.
