During college as an undergrad I worked full time as a nanny. I always loved my job working, caring for children. When I received my BA in 2012 I became a substitute teacher while looking for a full time position. So I am still here in 2013 in the same position. Now with the reading guarantee I needed a reading endorsement, so I began classes last semester. Substitute teaching is great and I really enjoy it while in grad school.
I enjoy living in Ohio, I love the four seasons. I think it is amazing to have such variety. I like doing things different ways and trying new things, which my students usually love as well. My favorite vacation is anywhere with an oceanfront view and some pools. Swimming is a must for me in the hot summer sun, although this summer we didn't get very lucky with hot weather in this suburb of Cleveland.
As a teacher I believe technology and classroom management are necessities to each and every classroom, without these two things the students are not capable of reaching their full potential. I believe in making learning fun by using hands on activities. I like my young students to have a small break during instruction involving some type of physical activity, to get their wiggles out.
Thanks for sharing Amy! I wish we would have had better weather for swimming this summer too. Seems like we didn't make it to the pool nearly enough for laid back summer fun!
