Hi Jessica, as for your teaching philosophy, I couldn't agree with you more. Caring is all that matters. If a child feels that their teacher truly cares about their well-being and future they are far more likely to perform and succeed. It seems to me that you really care and should make a wonderful teacher. Rmorg011 (talk) 23:54, 14 September 2008 (UTC)

Hi Jessica! Sounds like we have a lot in common. We like kids, snowboarding, we work too many hours and our dads are Navy guys. On the other hand you teach the little ankle biters and Im dealing with high school freshmen! You're right about laying down the rules and foundations of success from the start. I try to do that early and often. Let them know the difference b/w what is acceptable and what isnt, and what happens if they choose (i use that word deliberately) to behave in an unacceptable way. You get em' when they're young, Ill keep on em when they teens, and hopefully by the time they graduate we'll have instilled some sense of right and wrong in their heads. Keep up the good work! --Alec

Jessica, yes I did enjoy Spain. It was one of the most amazing experiences I had during college. I would love to go back there and teach english one day. If you ever do get the chance to learn spanish, take the opportunity. Although time doesn't permit it right now, I would love to take more classes to keep up with my spanish. I love the idea of technology integration into today's classrooms. I am actually taking ECI 430 right now as well and am learning more about it. I would love to work in a school that have a lot of technology integration into their curriculum. It puts more emphasis on the students, which is the most important thing.
