But I'll be teaching 4th grade next year!

# data[].attributes.body
I graduated from CBU with my degree in 2011 and my credential in 2012. I just completed my Masters Degree in December 2017 from CBU as well. I worked for 3 years in CNUSD before getting a permanent position in Kinder in 2015-16. I have taught 3rd grade the past two years, and am excited to move to 4th grade next year!

I teach because there is no better job in the world. Making a difference in the lives of our future is the best way to make a difference as a whole!

My area of strength is creating and maintaining an effective environment for learning.
The one area where I say I can continue to improve in the area of engaging students because there are constantly new things being developed that make the learning environment better and more fun. Once you think you're good at engaging them is when you start to fall behind the times on the new sites, games, strategies, etc.

My personal goal is to continue to learn and grow as an educator. I want to stay up to date on all the new technology, strategies, and curriculum.   I want to challenge myself to always be better and do better.
I can make sure that I accomplish goal by attending the district PD's over the breaks, and taking classes to earn more units.

My advice for new teachers is to never be afraid to ask for help, but know that you are stronger than you believe.

I had been introduced to Kahoot! many years ago, but completely forgot about it until this year. I started implementing it in my room for learning vocabulary words and my students scored skyrocketed!!

This exact website is one that I learned about during my Master's classes this school year, and I learned how to adapt it for use in my classroom. I love using it for students to work in small groups to complete questions.

I used Google Classroom last year, but this year I really dove deep into using it for assignments. I assigned my students many writing tasks. This had a  direct effect on their ability to write for the ELA portions of the CAASPP tests.

Symbaloo is a fantastic tool that I use to push appropriate websites for my students to use.  The sites are pushed as tiles, that I can arrange or group for ease of use.  It also made lessons and activities run more quickly and smoothly because students could click the appropriate "tile" instead of typing a long URL.  It made for less errors, making the lessons start more quickly.

Samantha already had many skills needed to be a great teacher. Classroom Management was an issue she decided to tackle with her class because they were abnormally talkative.  I observed over the year as she reflected about her students and changed her environment and structure with success as they grew not only academically, but socially and emotionally as well.
