About The Teacher
Mrs. Tanner graduated from St. Mary's College of Maryland with a B.A. in History in 2002. She went on to get a Masters in Teaching from Towson in 2004. Now in her sixth year of teaching, Mrs. Tanner has taught all three grades and can honestly say she really likes the middle school student and appreciates the unique qualities each grade level and each individual student provides. Contrary to popular belief, teachers do not live at school! When she is not teaching, Mrs. Tanner loves traveling, watching movies, scrap booking, and reading. Mrs. Tanner had the wonderful opportunity to experience Japanese culture first hand through a grant given to her by NCTA. She hopes to use this experience to better educate her 6th grade students fourth quarter when we study Asia!

Mission Label:


Mission
My goal as an educator is to create lessons that engage and challenge students. I see myself as a facilitator of learning, challenging my students to discover their world through interacting with it and each other. If you were to come into my room, my hope would be that you would see students using a variety of sources (pictures, letters from different countries, videos showing the world, etc.), games, and each other to learn about the world we live in, its geography and history.
