Like everyone, this feeling comes and goes. This month, I am proud of myself for going back to school, starting off my 3rd year teaching PreK, working 3 jobs, all while grieving a big loss earlier this year. When I look at this piece I created with a team of people who I love dearly, I genuinely feel like I deserve the pride that I feel inside. This piece, along with my new found drive, makes me really proud! ]]> 2021-09-20 21:28:01 UTC https://padlet.com/jgers445/fojfga951k4ui628/wish/1755368539 jgers445 https://padlet.com/jgers445/fojfga951k4ui628/wish/1755398101 These paintings are from just the first week of school! ]]> 2021-09-20 21:48:07 UTC https://padlet.com/jgers445/fojfga951k4ui628/wish/1755398101 jgers445 https://padlet.com/jgers445/fojfga951k4ui628/wish/1755403943 During the halloween season, I pick up a seasonal job at a haunted house doing makeup for the actors! Halloween is a lifestyle for me, yeah, I'm one of those! ]]> 2021-09-20 21:52:14 UTC https://padlet.com/jgers445/fojfga951k4ui628/wish/1755403943 jgers445 https://padlet.com/jgers445/fojfga951k4ui628/wish/1757800455 After I graduated from Central High school in 2011, I started my higher education at Kutztown, with a secondary-ed English focus. I shortly switched to psychology after that, and moved back to Philadelphia to pursue my makeup career! While back in Philly, I resumed classes at community college and then eventually gradated from Temple University. After experimenting with the marketing job market, I knew working with children was a value of mine, and I am very lucky I was able to find my current Job as a Lead Pre-K teacher. I can't wait to continue my education and inspire more children in the same district I was brought up in! ]]> 2021-09-21 16:36:17 UTC https://padlet.com/jgers445/fojfga951k4ui628/wish/1757800455 jgers445 https://padlet.com/jgers445/fojfga951k4ui628/wish/1757853070 When I think of teaching, the term Grace is always the first word that comes to mind. It's my teaching philosophy that all people, especially young children need GRACE! Grace gives individuals the opportunity to admit they got something wrong. Without grace, there is no reconciliation! As an adult, I still require grace- and the most important thing you can do with a student (especially one who is still learning to love learning) is build rapport and trust. None of your lessons will sink in without rapport and trust, and you will not be able to build that relationship without grace, because it's a learning tool we all require! ]]> 2021-09-21 16:53:44 UTC https://padlet.com/jgers445/fojfga951k4ui628/wish/1757853070
