Hello! I live in Fairfax County, Virginia, very close to Washington, D.C. I am attending school and getting my teaching liscence at Old Dominion University. Once I get my liscence, I plan to teach K-6. I work at an elementary school right, in Fairfax County, doing an after school program with K-6-- I LOVE working with all of the kids! I have been doing this for the past three years, and this is what has made me decide to persue my Elementary School Education lisence. I love going to work every day and seeing the kids-- they make me laugh and smile! But really, ever since I was in second grade and have been influenced my great teachers, I have decided I have wanted to be a teacher. This picture is of my cousins, they are from all over the United States. I like to say learning across the USA!



Educational Philosophy
My educational philosophy has many components. As I am learning throughout the year, I am sure I will add more and change as well. I feel that when I have my own classroom I will stay constantly engaged with other teachers so I can compare ideas on children, tests and ideas. I will want to keep parents informed on their children's progress throughout the year. I think that I will have to make sure that I dont talk to some parents more than others, or let some parents call, email all of the time. Diversity and special needs students are very special in a classroom. Because of the special needs, I think that you cannot treat all children the same. You can pay attention to all children but you can't nessarily give them the same course work. What if a child cant read in Kindergarden class while the others can? I think this means they may need a little more focus at home and specialized at school. I can't wait to learn more and start teaching!
