Who Am I?
I am a teacher. I am a daughter, a sister, a friend, a colleague. I fill many roles to those around me. I define myself in many ways. First and Foremost I am a Teacher. I touch lives, I educate students, I provide opportunities.
I am in my 9th year of teaching. I started my career teaching Kindergarten half-time for three years. After 3 years, a full-time position opened up and I moved buildings and grades. I taught Young 5's for two years. That was an eventful experience, not only teaching students but learning how to have a full-time aide in the classroom. After 2 years, I moved to Second Grade. Now that I am in my 4th year in Second Grade, I finally feel as if I know what I am doing and we change the content standards! Luckily, I feel teaching should always be about learning and I am continually having to learn new things in order to teach my students in a better way.
Technology plays an important role in my classroom. I encourage my students to become proficient in using the computer individually and in using the SmartBoard when it is in my classroom. Students are able to experience learning in many different ways thanks to technology and my use of it in the classroom.
