"It is today we must create the world of the future." ~Eleanor Roosevelt  Hello! Welcome to my homepage! My name is Laura Arnebeck and I am currently a senior attending Gustavus Adolphus College in St. Peter, Minnesota. I am pursuing a degree in Elementary Education with a concentration in Mathematics and Communication Arts/Literature. Ever since I was in elementary school, my dream has been to become a teacher. As I became older, I have worked to continue that dream and have been driven by a passion for both children and learning. I believe that children are the future and I want them to not only succeed in life, but also reach their highest potential. Education and learning open up a world of limitless possibilities and I believe that each child deserves a chance to be a part of that world. This past December I finished my student teaching, where I was first in a third grade classroom at Northside Elementary School in St. James, Minnesota, and then in a fifth grade classroom at Cleveland Public School in Cleveland, Minnesota. For both grades I taught math, reading, handwriting, spelling, and science. In fifth grade, I also taught literature and grammar, as well as two sessions of science to mixed classes of fifth and sixth graders. Through this experience, I found that I loved both grades! The third graders had great enthusiasm and imaginations, while the fifth graders could think on deeper levels and were very independent. Overall, I had a positive experience and now I am even more eager to help children and teach! This site will contain information and links to my philosophy of education, my major and concentrations, the national standards, and my standards portfolio. For more information about me and all my experiences take a look at my résumé. If you have any other questions, please feel free to contact me at the information listed below: Contact Information:
