Hello.
I'm a teacher...For the past year I've been working for a non-profit company as a Learning Connections Specialist, which pretty much means I teach Reading and Math to small groups of students in grades K-6. I really enjoy working with small groups of students and feel like my work is really making a difference in their academic success.
Before that I spent 2 years teaching Kindergarten and 1st grade at a charter school that was...let's just say disfunctional. I made some really great friends there and loved my students but I am so happy that I have a job that I don't mind waking up for in the morning. I've also taught art and family consumer science, ran an extended day program for kindergartner and first graders among other things (just ask my current co-workers...it seems like every place we talk about I've worked there at one point).
I'm finally back in to school! I am getting a Masters in Clasroom Instruction and a K-12 Reading License. There is a lot of reading and writing of papers (I don't know if I really like that aspect of it). I think I could be a life long student if it wasn't for the homework!
What else do you want to know about me??? I am an artist (I paint & do photography). I really enjoy going out to listen to local music. I am trying to teach myself how to play guitar (but for now guitar hero is as good as I get). I like hanging out with friends, happy hours, traveling, riding my scooter, playing kickball, being outside in the summer (boating, swimming, relaxing, etc), rollerblading, skiing, and reading.
