My name is Katie, but I prefer Kate. I can't wait to be expanding the minds of children in the classroom. I really want to bring different aspects into the classroom, so that my students are able to get the best of me and never half of me. I believe that teacher should give it their all and never give up on their students. I have learned this from probably one of the best teachers I know, Dolly McMahon. She trys so hard to reach her students, even if they dropped out of high school. This summer she spent her days helping a student pass his keystone state diploma. She did this without any pay, but that didn't stop her from doing what she does best.
I love art in the classroom. Having my students interact with eachother through various way suchas:
Music in the classroom stimulates the brain beyond anything used in a traditional classroom. It brings life into your students and helps them get ready for the day. I will always try to bring music into the classroom every morning, so my studnets know that today is a fresh start!
Art in the classroom helps many students express their knowledge about a topic but in a different way!
Teaching is fun, and professionals should embrace it! Every day brings new experiences to you, and from these experiences we grow into a better person, a better teacher, and a better member of society.
