Jefferson Elementary School
Hometown:
Marshall, Texas
Class Information:
Room Number: 302
Students per Class: 18
Class Description:
This year I have the opprotunity to teach the 4th grade students at Jefferson Elementary School. I enjoy finding ways to integrate technology into my curriculum in order to keep students engaged and exciting about learning.
Position:
4th grade
Needs:
We are a low income school in a very rural town. They have very limited resources and there are no opprotunities to use technology in their home. We need to help them take advantage of that opprotunity while we have them at school. We need digital cameras and video cameras for podcasting and for creating projects using higher order thinking skills. We are also in need of projectors to help all of our students see lessons.
Personal Information:
About Me:
This year I am teaching 4th grade in a self contained classroom. I have taught Kindergarten, 1st grade, and 4th grade Language Arts. I have also been an Instructional Technology Specialist. I love children, teaching, learning, and technology.
College and Degrees:
I graduated from Tyler Junior College in 2000 with an Associates Degree in InterdisciplinaryStudies. Then in 2003, I graduated from Texas Woman's University with a Bachelor of Science Degree in Elementary Education.
Favorite Books:
All of them! I love to read and learn new things. You can find so much wonderful information by reading.
Favorite Quotes:
The illiterate of the 21st century will not be those who cannot read and write, but those who cannot learn, unlearn, and relearn. ~Alvin Toffler
Employment History:
As a college student I worked as an Early Childhood teacher. During that time I worked with 3 year old children and then I taught Pre-K. I then moved to a private school in Grapevine, Tx where I taught Kindergarten. My next move was to a public school in Coppell, Tx where I taught 1st grade for two years and 4th grade for one year. I am now teaching technology in Winston-Salem, NC.
Why Do I Teach?:
I teach because I want children to love learning and to understand that we should all be lifelong learners. I hope to encourage my students to continue their education and to constantly be looking for ways to grow. I want all of my students to love reading and I enjoy finding ways to encourage them to do so. I like finding ways to meet the needs and interests of all of my students.
