Experience Summary
I have over 10 years experience as a teacher. I have taught grades 4, 5, Kindergarten, and Pre- Kindergarten. I am currently a Special Education Teacher for children ages 3-5, where I work hard to meet everyone of my students IEP goals. I make learning fun and rewarding for my students by letting them use playdoo to form letters, making letters in sand, flour, etc. When counting, I provide manipulatives for my students to use to count( like coins, blocks, etc) to make counting more interesting for my students.
Teaching Style
I believe that children learn best from hands on experiences. I teach from a constructivist point of view, where learning is fun for my students. Students all learn from one another, and I am a strong believer in grouping students. By having children work in groups, they can learn from one another and share ideas. I also ask my students open-ended questions where there are no " right" or " wrong" answers and the students know that their answers are valuated, and are more willing to take risk and answer questions. Learning does not only occur by doing rexo sheets. Children learn from their environment, and by role playing.
My Hobbies
