Hi everyone!
I am a second grade Gen. Ed. teacher at
Laurel Hill Elementary in Hanover Park.
I have been working at this at-risk school for seven years. I love it here! The staff works closely together to enable everyone to succeed,
students and staff alike.
Education is a second career for me. I chose to
pursue education full-time after raising two
children in whose classrooms I volunteered for
11 years.
I strive to be the change I want to see.
I recently completed the requirements for Learning Behavioral Specialist. I then moved on attaining a Gifted Certification. I see the need to address both ends of the emotional spectrum equally. Using yoga and mindfulness enables all children to learn.
I now am pursuing more information about Technology in the classroom. We are 1:1 with Chrome streams, and 2:1 with iPads. I have a SMART Board too! I struggle getting it all in efficiently.
With a focus on Google Classroom, I have mastered areas that were unfamiliar to me. I want to dive into assessment to be more through in gleaning student understanding in answering essential questions and wondering more about their world on a deeper level. With all I know and want to tech my students, the lack of Classroom know-how has prevented me from moving forward with my second graders. BRING IT ON!
