Hello everyone! I'm an Elementary Education major at Kansas State University. My emphasis is English as a Second Language (ESL), and I have a Spanish minor to go along with that. As I near graduation, I felt it would be good to create a resource to organize and compile all of my teaching projects and experiences, both for my later reference and to perhaps inspire or give ideas to others. I figure there are quite a few seasoned teachers out there as well, who can give me advice and help me along in my journey. If you have any advice or questions, please never hesitate to comment. I'm very friendly, I promise!
I've always loved working with children: I've worked in church nurseries for over 6 years, babysat quite a bit, and helped with numerous VBS programs, children's camps, science days, carnivals, puppet shows, craft days, sunday school....you name it, I've done it. This last summer I went with the ESL program at my university to teach English at a school in Guatemala City. It was an incredible experience, and although it definitely stretched me, it made me more passionate about teaching than ever before. My dream job would involve teaching English or Spanish a bilingual school, either in a Hispanic community or in another country. I also have a Bachelor of Arts in Bible, so perhaps I can combine my passions on the mission field with an organization in Latin America.
If everything goes according to plan, I hope to student teach in the Fall of 2013 and graduate in December. Until then, I will use this blog to post various teaching ideas, categorized by subject in the right column. Please let me know if you link to my blog or share my ideas. Thanks!
