Hi! My name is Debbie Hill. I have been teaching kindergarten for twelve
years. Before teaching kindergarten, I worked as a production manager
in a manufacturing facility. I decided to change careers because I love
working with small children. I have a Bachelor's Degree in Business
Management and a Master's Degree in Elementary Education. I graduated with
an EdS in Intructional Leadership in May of this year.
I have a big family. My husband's name is Don. I have 3 daughters:
Candice, Casie and Casha and two step-daughters: Leah and Gretchen. In
addition, I have two son-in-laws, Ben and Terry. I have two precious little
granddaughters: Brylie and Emrie. I have a horse named
Mistletoe and two dogs, Sugar and Cappi.
I have many interests. I like to swim, take long walks, ride bikes, hike,
read, and travel. I enjoy spending time with my family. I love teaching
small children.
I believe learning is a lifelong process. It is characterized by constant
development and change. It is a process that starts early in a child's life
and continues throughout adulthood. I believe student learning should be
the main focus in every classroom.
In order to reach all learners, I believe teachers should teach where the
learners are. Students learn in different ways and at different paces. I
believe instruction should be varied and materials utilized to best meet the
individual needs of all students. I think children should be provided with
many opportunities to feel success at school.
I want my classroom to be a place where students are excited to be and where
they want to learn. If by chance you stop by Room 211, you will see
children actively engaged in learning and enjoying the learning process.
You will see children involved in hands-on learning, computer activities,
movement, song, art projects, and that is just a small part of each day.
Also, you will see a teacher who cares about each child in a special way.
My main goal is to do my part in preparing children for life in an
everchanging world as well as to show them a small part of what the world has
to offer them. Afterall, children are the future.
