About The Teacher

Hi!  My name is Shana La Vine.  I grew up in Marietta, attending Mt. 
Bethel, Dickerson, and I graduated from Walton in 1996.  I then 
went to Georgia Southern University where I graduated in May of 2001 with my 
Bachelor's in Early Childhood Education.  In December 2005, I earned my 
Master's degree from Kennesaw State University, also in Early Childhood 
Education.  (This was an amazing learning experience that I was happy to 
share with several other teachers from East Side.)  I am currently enrolled 
in an Ed.S. program in Educational Technology from Lesley University.  So far 
this, too, has proved to be a worthwhile decision.

It's hard for me to imagine, but the 2011-2012 school year is my eleventh
year of teaching at East Side Elementary.  It's incredible how time really 
does fly when you're having fun!  My first class of students are Seniors in 
high school this year- WOW!!!

I taught second grade for five years, and five years ago, I had the 
wonderful opportunity to loop up to third grade with my class.  That was a 
great decision.  So, this year is my sixth year teaching third grade and I am 
very excited.  Third graders have such amazing things happening in their 
heads while they are going through the huge transition from second grade to 
third grade.

I feel very fortunate to be in a career where I have so much enthusiasm 
for what I do and for the young people with whom I work.  I truly appreciate 
and admire how their young minds work and I am very grateful to have these 
young people as my "co-workers."  I feel that I learn as much from the 
students as they do from me, and in turn, they learn from each other.  What 
wonderful symbiotic relationships!
