: : : : Photo: About The Teacher Label: About The Teacher In my spare time, you can catch me in any one of my favorite activities that include running, cycling, baking, playing with my dog Daisy, gardening, and creating art. During summers and vacations, I love to travel, even if it is just a short trip to the Oregon Coast. Most recently, I trekked through the Greek islands followed by a language program at the Sorbonne in Paris. I love learning new languages and am currently trying to maintain my French. It is a special language to me because my grandmother was French and as a child, I was very intrigued by her and her culture. In my classroom, I try to introduce many cultures from around the world so that children can develop their own sense of life around our beautiful planet. I have been fortunate to have a solid education throughout my life. I grew up in rural Southern Oregon. My primary school classes were always small (no greater than 12) and I had amazing teachers. From eighth to twelfth grade, I attended St. Mary's in Medford, Oregon. It is a small, academically-focused private school similar to Pacific Northwest Academy. My classes were challenging and always interesting and the teachers were incredible! I feel lucky to now be teaching at a school that shares those same qualities. In 2001, I graduated with my B.S. in Elementary Education from the University of Oregon which is the second ranked Education program in the nation. Three years later, I followed with my Masters in Education from George Fox University in Newberg, Oregon and received my state teaching certification. In my future, I would love to pursue more education, and possibly a doctorate degree. I have never wanted to stop learning and I have always wanted to figure out how things work. I feel like my education has taught me so much about how I can best teach children. Overall, I hope I can leave them with the same love of learning that I have always had. Mission Label: Mission My three main areas of focus in the classroom are: 1. Community and character building 2. Creating a love of learning 3. Developing strong literacy skills <CENTER><a href="http://img349.imageshack.us/my.php?image=school001ht7.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://img349.imageshack.us/img349/8274/school001ht7.th.jpg" border="0" alt="Free Image Hosting at www.ImageShack.us" /></a></CENTER> Or, would you like to view and optionally restore one of these previous versions?
