Hi Shannon! Firstly, I think that it's awesome that you want to be a 5th grade teacher! When I was working as a substitute, I found that that was a difficult age for me, I preferred working with the younger grades like kindergarten and first grade. I also liked how you mentioned having a balance between student centered and teacher centered approaches. I tend to lean more student centered but at the same time I agree with you that teacher centered is best for more complicated topics.

Hi Shannon. As a parent of a 5th grader I applaud you wanting to teach 5th grade! Asking for help is also not one of my strong points! It seems as though there are quite a few of us who struggle with that. Your page looks wonderful. Good luck on your educational journey! -Amy Balzer
Hi Shannon! I definitely feel you on your What I Need to Learn page. Classroom management and learning how to handle that is an obstacle but you can do it! I know you will be a great teacher! - Anastazia Jackson
