I have been a VPK teacher for one full school year so far. I absolutely love working with them and letting their imaginations go wild. I am currently a full time online student who is majoring in elementary education and I have almost completed my full 40 dcf hours. Working with kids is my passion and dream, i love everything about it. Although I am young I have already learned so much and am ready to keep learning and working more with them. I strive to have a welcoming, comforting, safe classroom where all students feel welcome. I pride myself with hands on activities as well as calm voices with the kids so no one ever feels uncomfortable. I am a firm believer that kids learned better when doing, so although worksheets may be used from time to time i try and make everything hands on. I also took two years of sign language and love to incorporate it into daily activities. In my college classes I have also taken classes focused on special education which allows me to work with exceptional kids and understand some of their behavior.
