I am so excited that I get to share this school year with your children! I'm sure you're wondering who I am and would like a little insight to who will be watching over your little ones during the eight hours they are in school, let me fill you in!
I am 22 years old and I have attended both Pima Community College and the University of Arizona to get to where I am today. I loved learning about how to become a teacher and what resources and methods I should be utilizing while teaching an array of different students. My goal is to reach every single student, every single day.
I have heard a lot of stories from other teachers about how they didn't initially plan on becoming a teacher, but I have dreamt of being a teacher for as long as I can remember. My first memory was when I was about four years old. My mother and I had been out and about visiting different yard-sales to see what "scores" we could find. This particular Saturday we were at a retired teachers home and I was in heaven! She had an old-style desk that had the flip lid - the chair was fixed to it and the table top portion lifted up to keep your belongings inside. She also had books, markers, stencils, construction paper, you name it, but I kept going back to the desk. I begged my mother for it and eventually she caved in and the next thing I knew, I had my own desk at home! As soon as we got home I immediately set all of my stuffed animals up on the floor in my bedroom and began "teaching" them. I mimicked lessons that my preschool teachers had given and I was so proud. From this moment on, I knew what my career was going to be.
Again, I am so thrilled to have your students in my class this year and I cannot wait to get to know each and every one of them. If you have any questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to reach out by either phone or e-mail.
