Class Description:
I teach first grade near a military base. We have a large military population in our district, which also lends itself to a diverse cultural population.
Position:
Teacher
Needs:
I am currently enrolled in a doctoral program with emphasis on technology. I have three computers and an LCD projector, but would like to have a smart board, digital camera and a flip video camera to engage my students in class activities and bring my classroom to the 21st century technological age.
My Philosophy:
My philosophy is based on the constructivist theory in which students are encouraged to take part in creating opportunities for learning. I believe in providing hands-on activities that allow for growth and reflection as this is at the heart of learning.

Favorite Quotes:
When one door of happiness closes, another opens; but often we look so long at the closed door that we do not see the one which has been opened for us. - Helen Keller "Friends are flowers in the garden of life." "Life is not measured by the number of breaths we take, but by the moments that take our breath away"
Interests:
I run 3-5 days/week with my best friend. We enter 5K, 10K, half/full marathon races for "personal" goal fulfillment; definitely not competitive races. I also enjoy boating, fishing, reading, going to the beach, and spending time with my family.
Employment History:
I am currently in my 21st year teaching. I love working primary age students. I serve as an model observation classroom in balanced literacy for our district. I am also the staff development coordinator for our school.
Why Do I Teach?:
I can't imagine not teaching! As a primary student, I lacked the familial support need to succeed and consequently struggled in school. I was fortunate to have a dedicated fifth grade teacher who nurtured me to excel academically. As a teacher, I am in a position to pay it forward and honor the profession that gave me a direction in life by impacting the lives of young children.
