Who am I:

What I know:

I might not know tons about how to create effective lesson plans and so many other things that I will have to do as a teacher but what I do know is that I love kids so much and want to shape them into the best version of themselves and help them make a difference! I know a lot about how to teach letters, sight words, counting, and so much more from teaching preschool which I know will help me a lot along the way. Most of my experience in education is 3-4-year-olds which is an age that I adore. I of course want to teach my future students the basics but I also find it so important to teach kids how to love themselves, be effective communicators, help others who need it, and so many other life skills that aren’t taught in a standard curriculum.

I want to be the teacher that students feel comfortable and safe with and know they can come to me with anything.I love the idea of me being a garden and my students are all the flowers in the garden that grows bigger and stronger every day! I believe that while school is meant for learning your standard topics it should also be a place where children learn basic life skills such as making friends, communicating effectively, learning how to manage their feelings, and so many other life skills that are not taught in school. I want my lessons to be as interactive as possible. I have found that younger kids like to constantly be doing something so I want to add “play” into my learning style. I also believe that lots of people are not good test takers so I would like to implement more in-class projects that become test grades over your standard paper-multiple choice test. Group work will also be a key component in my classroom. Not only will my students be doing the assignment I gave them but they will also be learning how to communicate and work with their peers. With all of that being said I would say that my teaching style will be a mix of social reconstructionism and progressivism.
