My name is Charlotte, but I go by Carly. I am a TA at Wealthy Elementary School in a 2nd grade classroom.

I am a Music Ed student, and a TA in Forest Hills Central Middle school choir. This past summer I worked for an organization called Catholic Heart Work Camp, and facilitated service trips for high school kids and traveled all over the country.

I'm placed at Riley Street Middle in Hudsonville this Fall! I'll be working with 8th graders in an English Language Arts class. I'm a secondary education and English major with a minor in Psychology. Usually you can catch me around photo documenting my meals, petting cats, and ruining anything expensive I buy for myself.

My name is ahmed elmi and I am teacher assisting at Pine Island Elementary in a 3rd-grade classroom. I am a group Social Studies major and Elementary minor. I love to run and ran for Grand Valleys cross country and track for two years. I currently coach cross country at Forest Hills central high school and can't wait for the season to start next week. I am very excited to be going on this trip to Spain because it will be the first time I've left the States since we came to America from east Africa almost ten years ago. And oh yes I am newly an uncle (this silly one month old is Gabe)

My name is Harold Wiggins. I am teacher assisting at Caledonia Elementary. I am a double major in Physical Education and Health Education. I'm a former student athlete at GV and I love binge watching tv shows on Netflix. If I'm not binge watching tv shows I'm eating Taco Bell and watching movies.

My name is Rebecca Powers (Becca is fine too). I am currently teacher assisting at West Elementary in Grandville with 1st grade. I am an Education and Integrated Science major with an Elementary minor. I love photography, collecting items from around the world, being outdoors, spending time with family/friends and playing basketball. Over the last three years, I have volunteered with the boys and girls club through a Grand Valley organization called Kids in Motion which I was the Vice President for last year, and I loved being apart of it very much. I am looking forward to a great year and teaching in Spain!]]> 2017-08-31 01:17:41 UTC https://padlet.com/willishe/glglr34tdg4o/wish/183843149 https://padlet.com/willishe/glglr34tdg4o/wish/184438573 HOLA AMIGOS,
I'm Holly Postma, a super-senior here at GVSU and teacher assisting at Forest Hills Northern High School in 9th grade English classes. My major is English Education with a minor in Spanish. Two key parts of my life are: I am an assistant swim coach at Grandville HS for the women's varsity team, and I have a huge passion for the environment. Anyways, estoy emocionada por viajar y enseñar en España con ustedes (I am excited to travel and teach in Spain with you all). ]]> 2017-09-03 22:31:12 UTC https://padlet.com/willishe/glglr34tdg4o/wish/184438573 https://padlet.com/willishe/glglr34tdg4o/wish/184966095 Hello everybody! I'm a senior here at GV and I am in a 4th grade classroom at Vista Charter Academy all year, with the exception of six weeks I'll be spending abroad in Spain with Grand Valley's Teacher Assisting Program.  Below is a terrible picture of me geeking out over a tiny frog. I searched for a more flattering photo but apparently I'm not capable of creating one so here is a more honest one!]]> 2017-09-06 00:29:37 UTC https://padlet.com/willishe/glglr34tdg4o/wish/184966095 https://padlet.com/willishe/glglr34tdg4o/wish/185737822 Hi There!
I have the pleasure of teacher assisting/student teaching at the incredible Alpine Elementary in Kenowa Hills this year. I am excited to be a part of the learning community that GV has established there. My time is being spent with 2nd graders. I love culture, travel, great coffee and food. If I wasn't going to be a teacher, I would want to follow around Anthony Bourdain or Andrew Zimmern! When I am not at school or working as a nanny, you can usually find me with a book in hand, in the kitchen trying out a new recipe, with my family, or on an adventure. ]]> 2017-09-08 01:31:32 UTC https://padlet.com/willishe/glglr34tdg4o/wish/185737822
