PK3A - MRS. MEGAN & MRS. DAWN

MRS. MEGAN & MRS. DAWN

(PK - 3A)

Hello, my name is Megan Encardes.

This will be my fifth year teaching at Visitation of Our Lady and first year teaching Pre K-3. Before teaching Pre K-3, I was Visitation's lead PK - 2 teacher for the past 4 years and a Special Education Paraprofessional for 2 years prior to that. I believe this has helped me to become a better person and teacher. Through my past experiences, I have come to live by the quote " If a child cannot learn the way you are teaching... you should teach the way they can learn." - Unknown

As far as my education background, I attended Catholic school on the west-bank from Pre K-4 thru 12 grade. After graduating high school, I continued my education at Our Lady of Holy Cross College. I earned my Bachelors Degree in General Studies with 27 hours of Elementary Education, May of 2014.

My husband and I have have been together 3 years now. We have a pretty busy household which includes 5 children, 1 cat, 2 dogs, 2 snakes, 1 leopard gecko , a turtle and 5 fish and a grand-daughter on the way! In my free time, I enjoy shopping, bowling and spending time with my family and friends. I also love being creative and coming up with new and exciting ideas to incorporate into our daily routine in the classroom.

I am very excited to be able to work along side Mrs. Dawn this year. This is her third year in PK - 3 but she has been an active member of our VOL school family for awhile now. Her daughter now attends AOL and her son is currently in 7th grade.
