Introducing Me

      I was born and raised in Martinsburg, WV. This is the city in which I decided I wanted to become a teacher. After graduating from college I plan to become an elementary school teacher. I would love to teacher fourth or fifth grade math.

      I believe that children need to experience early on that learning new things does not have to be a chore. Learning can, and should be fun!! Children do not need to read out of a textbook. They need hands on experience to fully understand what is being taught. If you make the lesson into a game or at least relate it to kids then they will learn and remember more. Make the kids laugh, kids will always remember a lesson they laughed in. In my classroom I plan on having activities that the students will be up out of their seats moving around the classroom. I will do my best to have plenty of games for students to learn with and make class as enjoyable as possible.
