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.
Research shows when people remember more when they doing something enjoyable!
