Biographical Sketch

I have always thought it would be fun to be a teacher. Through the years as I helped my own children with their homework or volunteered in their classrooms and in the PTA I would have in the back of my mind what a great profession educating would be. I loved working with the children and enjoyed seeing their successes. I began to notice how rewarding it was to be a good teacher that is filled with excitement and ready to teach not daunted by the disappointments and obstacles that can happen along the way.
When I chose to go back to college I knew what I wanted to be right away and have wasted no time in taking the generals and pre-requisites I needed to be able to accomplish my goal. I am assertive, fun and animated when it comes to teaching kids. My enthusiasm for learning is contagious and it is demonstrated when I am teaching children. I want to be the kind of teacher that parents ask to have for their child. I have seen what I liked and disliked in teachers over the years and plan on not letting any of my students down by making sure each receives a good quality education. I am ready to take on any challenges when it comes to teaching and look forward to obtaining my Masters Degree in Education and my Doctrine. I plan on being certified in teaching gifted and talented along with being a reading resource teacher. I feel that to keep up on all the latest teaching challenges that I to must continue my education toward being the best educator I can be.

E-Environment

Students need to like and feel comfortable in the environment they are in. The classroom should provide a safe, colorful, fun place where kids want to learn. On the website classroom.4teachers.org I have provided evidence of this by my classroom setup. The class contains a reading area, centers, small kiva for up close learning and a smart board on top of the dry erase board.
