Please post a picture and a few sentences about yourself. Also note one thing that has brought you joy recently, one thing you are looking forward to and one thing you are nervous about this semester...(By Friday, 9.3) marcus_art https://padlet.com/marcus_art/h9wu8f4gon8uz2ne/wish/1701109390 2021-08-27 16:27:06 UTC https://padlet.com/marcus_art/h9wu8f4gon8uz2ne/wish/1701109390 ladler20s https://padlet.com/marcus_art/h9wu8f4gon8uz2ne/wish/1702038480 Hi Everyone! My name is Lauren and my pronouns are she/her/hers. I go by Ms. Lauren in the classroom. This is my 5th year teaching. I taught in Vietnam for a couple of years and in Brooklyn for a couple of years as well. Last year I taught 1st Grade at the charter school I have been working at in Brooklyn. This year I am teaching 2nd Grade at the same school.

One thing that brought me joy recently was seeing most of the students in my class this year in-person (we started school on 8/26)! I am looking forward to getting more practice weaving intentional language instruction into my lessons in a sustainable way. One thing I am nervous about is balancing grad school with teaching in-person full-time. Up until this point, work has been either fully remote or hybrid, which has given me more time to work on grad school assignments. Now that I am back teaching fully in-person, I will have less time outside of work and will need to adjust my schedule accordingly. 
]]> 2021-08-28 15:48:00 UTC https://padlet.com/marcus_art/h9wu8f4gon8uz2ne/wish/1702038480 Ciao a tutti! My name is Jessica Schiffman, or, Ms. Schiffman! jschiffman19f https://padlet.com/marcus_art/h9wu8f4gon8uz2ne/wish/1702869377 Ciao a tutti! Benvenuti! My name is Jessica Schiffman, or my students call me Ms. Schiffman. My mom is Ms. Schiffman, too, and she teaches ESL! Talk about twinning! 

I have taught Italian and Spanish for 5-years. I have run the language department in my school on the Lower East Side until it closed two years ago. I then moved to Brooklyn Studio Secondary School where I taught Italian for 2-years. I loved the school and my students, however, this year I decided to return to my alma mater, Edward R. Murrow, where I have received a position to teach both Italian and ESL. I am still heartbroken about leaving my old school and it was a hard decision, but Murrow provided more room to grow as an educator in different fields, as it is a bigger school, and maybe run the language department one day! 

I love my students with all of my heart and I love teaching adolescents. Watching them metamorphose into young-adults brings me true joy. 

The other day, I bumped into a student and she told me "You were a bright and shining light in my life, Ms. Schiffman and always put a smile on your students' faces." I cried tears of joy.  I could never imagine myself doing anything else. 

I have also tutored for many years - from kids up to the PhD level in Foreign Languages. I also teach Italian at Columbia Teachers College after school to Grad students. 

Fun facts about me: I work as a stylist over the weekends (because I love fashion as well), and my sister lives in Berlin! I started taking German at Hunter but stopped during the pandemic. I hope to go back and learn more in Berlin! I speak Italian, Spanish, some Russian, some Yiddish, Hebrew, and learning German! I feel language learning promotes diversity and acceptance of different human beings, which is why I love being a language teacher! 

I am not very nervous about the class, I am nervous about going into a new school in a few days (not very new, it was my alma mater), but going in as a teacher this time. My old school had 900 students in total between middle and high school, and my new school has 5,000 students, only high school! AHHHHH!!!!!!!!

I look forward to meeting everyone in this course!! 

A presto, 
Jessica ]]> 2021-08-29 19:18:59 UTC https://padlet.com/marcus_art/h9wu8f4gon8uz2ne/wish/1702869377 lcastro19f https://padlet.com/marcus_art/h9wu8f4gon8uz2ne/wish/1705002584 Hello everyone! my name is Leslie Castro or Ms.Castro. I am currently working as a substitute teacher in a public school in Queens. I have experience teaching in monolingual and dual language classes. This past school year I was a Spanish Kindergarten Dual langauge teacher. I was teaching remotely and in-person at the same time along side with my partner. It was definitely a challenging experience but I survived throughout the school year with the help and support of my partner. 

One thing that brought me joy recently was having the opportunity to work for the Summer Rising program this summer. It was such a great experience seeing and meeting new students in-person. I was glad to be part of thier lives to support their learning and get them ready for the upcoming school year. One thing I am nervous about is schools getting shutdown again and going back to remote (lets pray it doesnt happen). I personally enjoy teaching in-person than online becasue I get to interact face-to-face with students, provide hands-on learning and collaborate with colleagues. One thing I am looking forward to is meeting and working with everyone in this course.]]> 2021-08-30 17:17:33 UTC https://padlet.com/marcus_art/h9wu8f4gon8uz2ne/wish/1705002584 ecamng20f https://padlet.com/marcus_art/h9wu8f4gon8uz2ne/wish/1705359337 Hi! My name is Elizabeth.  My pronouns are she/her/hers and I go by Ms. Elizabeth.  I previously taught PreK before I began to teach FL Spanish at the elementary school in Boro Park where I have been teaching for almost 10 years.  Last year, I taught Kindergarten remotely which was challenging at first mostly because the parents needed lots of support signing into Zoom and using the tools as well as other school apps to help their children at home.
One thing that brought me joy is to get to know and observe how much the students and parents 😆  had grown from the start to the end of the school year.  I was grateful to them for their support, patience and understanding as I communicated with them  and taught their children remotely how to listen, speak, read and write English when most parents and students did not understand the language.  I am looking forward and am nervous at the same time to meet the challenges that the new school year in-person classes may bring as I tackle the assignments for our class this semester.  I still, yet, have to learn to juggle and balance time between work, college, health, etc. 🤓]]> 2021-08-30 20:56:33 UTC https://padlet.com/marcus_art/h9wu8f4gon8uz2ne/wish/1705359337 ftsang18 https://padlet.com/marcus_art/h9wu8f4gon8uz2ne/wish/1705445813 Hi everyone! My name is Fiona Tsang and my pronouns are she/her/hers.  I will be a first year teacher at PS 130 The Parkside School and so excited to meet my students. I was a substitute teacher at this school during the pandemic from March - June 2020, but decided not to continue as a sub the following school year. I ended up being a lead teacher at a pod in Battery Park City with only 8 students! 

One thing that brought me joy recently was watching my dancers perform at an AAPI Dance Festival at St. Marks Place. I choreograph on the side and being able to connect with other dancers and choreographers after the lockdown was so rewarding and made my heart full! 

One thing I am looking forward to is getting to know my students. I hope to make an impact in the classroom and be a positive light during this pandemic. 

I am nervous about not being able to balance everything on my plate. BUT I feel that I am very supported in my school and at Hunter, so I am hoping to have a great semester!

This is my first year working with this school and I am excited for a new environment that is different from what I am used to. I graduated from Hunter College as a double major in the QUEST Program on Childhood Education Grades 1-6 and English Language Arts in May 2020. This past year I worked as a per diem substitute teacher at Hunter College Campus Schools for Kindergarten to Sixth/Seventh Grade. I was in person for the whole year and it was a challenging but fun experience. 

One thing that brought me joy recently was that I am going to work in a school that is a totally different environment that I have never experienced before. This school specializes in teaching students with different disabilities and uses techniques that I have learned about, but haven’t used them at all. I am beyond excited to work here because I will be teaching English and Spanish to students in the upper grades in high school while also working with students in the elementary school level. This school ensures that everyone is safe, so we only get to work with a small group of students to limit exposure. One thing that I am looking forward to is working with small groups of elementary, middle and high school students. I have taught up to the sixth grade and working with high school students is something that I have been looking forward to. One thing that I am nervous about is being able to balance working as a Focus Teacher while also taking two graduate classes. I have done it before and I managed to find a balance and plan ahead of time. I feel like having a planner is fantastic because it helps you plan ahead on when you should complete assignments and projects before it is due.

My name is Joann Jiang and my pronouns are she/her/hers. This is my fifth year as a third grade bilingual teacher in district 20. I taught a third grade gifted and talented class during remote learning last school year. I am excited to complete my practicum 1!

One thing that brought me joy recently was  my engagement in July. This pandemic definitely helps me realize the importance of family and love ones. I'm grateful that everyone around me is well and healthy. 

One thing I am looking forward to is meeting my students on the first day of school. I am ready to learn each one of their unique personality and learning styles! 

I am nervous about commuting to school since I'm a new driver! Please wish me luck on BQE!

My name is Emily Moscaritolo and my pronouns are she/her/hers. I am currently working as an ESL teacher at AECI2 Charter High School in the Bronx. This is my second year as a K-12 teacher. I taught English literacy and oracy classes for international students at the college level when I was doing my MA at Indiana University as well (I am in the certificate program now at Hunter).

One thing that has brought me joy recently has been visiting my mom and meeting her new kitten. I brought my cat along with me, and he and the kitten got along really well. I was nervous that he wouldn't get along with other cats, but they couldn't leave each other alone! This gives me hope that I can get another cat in the future once I move to a bigger apartment. :)

One thing I'm looking forward to is starting at a new school. I had a really bad experience at my school last year as a new teacher, and it really shook my confidence. I just started at my new school a few days ago and I am already feeling optimistic.

One thing I'm nervous about is balancing all my work. I don't have my official class assignments yet, but from what I've seen so far I think I'm going to have a lot of different classes to deal with between pull-out and push-in instruction. I hope I still have enough time to rest and recharge in between prepping for all of those classes and completing the work for this class.]]> 2021-09-02 13:30:04 UTC https://padlet.com/marcus_art/h9wu8f4gon8uz2ne/wish/1712728267 Cassandra Gray cassandragray https://padlet.com/marcus_art/h9wu8f4gon8uz2ne/wish/1713181206 Hi everyone!  My name is Cassandra Gray and my pronouns are she/her/hers.  I am currently pursuing my initial teaching certification in TESOL K-12.  This is my first semester of student teaching!  Due to the pandemic, I am unable to move into the city to complete my student teaching and will be doing so from Long Island at JFK Middle School in Port Jefferson Station and will attend our asynch sessions.  

One thing that brought my joy recently was my trip to our family cabin in Echo Lake, California.  It has been a special place to my family for the last five generations and I am so thankful to have experienced the mountains while I could.  Praying the Caldor fire doesn't touch our family cabin, but again I am so thankful for my time there.

One thing I am looking forward to is the responsibility that comes with student teaching!  I was a substitute teacher assistant the last three months of last school year and while it was a wonderful experience, I am excited to play a more hands on role in the classroom with ENL students.

One thing I am nervous about this semester is working with students in a new classroom while still in a pandemic. I understand burnout has become a more frequent issue among students and teachers, but I hope to bring a new, energetic, and fresh light into the classroom.]]> 2021-09-02 16:20:19 UTC https://padlet.com/marcus_art/h9wu8f4gon8uz2ne/wish/1713181206 Lina Adinyayev https://padlet.com/marcus_art/h9wu8f4gon8uz2ne/wish/1713501915 Hi everyone! I am Lina and I have been teaching since 2013 on and off, while raising my kids as well. I am dually certified in ELA 7-12 and SWD. Currently, I am teaching for a charter high school on Staten Island, NY. I'm a mom of 3 and live in NJ. One thing that brought me joy this year is the birth of my daughter, Abigail. I have two boys and having a girl was a nice surprise :) One thing I look forward to this year is going back to a physical classroom. I realized how important it is for us to be in person teaching our students, especially our SWD and ELLs. One thing I am nervous about this year is having another lockdown. I hope that all will be well and all will be safe and healthy. I am also nervous about being able to accomplish, juggle, and manage all that is happening in my professional and personal life. Looking forward to learning from everyone this semester!]]> 2021-09-02 18:50:19 UTC https://padlet.com/marcus_art/h9wu8f4gon8uz2ne/wish/1713501915 Karen Hu khu20s https://padlet.com/marcus_art/h9wu8f4gon8uz2ne/wish/1713684035 Hey everyone - my name is Karen Hu and this is my quarantine pup, Gotham! My pronounces are she/her/hers. I currently have my early elementary B-2 general and special education license. I've taught kindergarten for six years, and will be transitioning to an interesting cluster position this school year to better support the students' social emotional learning through play and inquiry. 

One thing that has brought me joy recently was my trip to Disney this summer. I've had to postpone it four times due to the pandemic, so it was amazing to finally go - masks up, sweat everywhere and all the magic in between! 

One thing I am looking forward to is seeing all of my students from last year. I taught them remotely for the entire year and only got to see some of them once, so I am so excited to see them in the building if possible. At the same time, returning back to the building with a new position and unsure guidelines makes me very nervous and I hope that I will continue to find support in this amazing community to get me through it! ]]> 2021-09-02 20:53:37 UTC https://padlet.com/marcus_art/h9wu8f4gon8uz2ne/wish/1713684035 abisulco20f https://padlet.com/marcus_art/h9wu8f4gon8uz2ne/wish/1714031909

Hello everyone my name is Alexis Bisulco and my pronouns are she/her/hers. I will be a first year teacher this year at The Roosevelt Island Schools as a second grade teacher. Last year, I worked at a school district on Long Island as a TA in a 5th grade classroom. 

One thing that has brought me joy recently was moving into an apartment on the upper east side. This makes my commute to work fairly easy as I can now take The Roosevelt Island tram to work. My apartment is also 10 blocks away from my childhood best friend!

One thing that I am looking forward to this school year is creating relationships with my co-workers and students. I can’t wait to be a part of The Roosevelt Island School family. 

One thing that I am definitely nervous about this semester is the workload of taking 2 classes while also starting my first year teaching. I am hoping for a smooth year and transition to my new life living in NYC.

I'm Wayloon and my pronouns are he/him/his. I am currently certified to teach ELA (7-12) and have worked back and forth with different schools, including this year's Summer Rising program but I am currently awaiting to be placed/looking for schools to student teach in. 
One thing that has bought me joy was finally moving out of my parents' house and trying to be independent on my own. Now, I reside in Bay Ridge, Brooklyn and have more connections to my commute. 

One thing I am looking forward to is going back to physical classrooms because I am excited to see the new things that are being introduced to us teachers on how we should prepare our students academically.

One thing I am nervous about is the future that lies within COVID-19. Clearly, this is not going away any time soon but after seeing the news, it's hard to determine when things will fully go back to normal. I would like travel, not worry about exposure, and seeing my students without their masks on.]]> 2021-09-03 01:09:51 UTC https://padlet.com/marcus_art/h9wu8f4gon8uz2ne/wish/1714063445 Guada Pimentel gpimentel20f https://padlet.com/marcus_art/h9wu8f4gon8uz2ne/wish/1714623989
Hi all! My name is Guada Pimentel and my pronouns are she/her/hers. This is my 2nd year teaching. Last year I taught Kindergarten at a dual language charter school in Sunset Park, Brooklyn. This year I am teaching 1st grade at a dual language charter school in Washington Heights. 

One thing that brought me joy recently has been visiting my family in Mexico after not visiting for two years. When the pandemic hit, I had two trips planned to Mexico that got cancelled. Getting the opportunity to hug my grandmother again has been the highlight of my year. 

One thing I’m looking forward to is trying out different strategies to help out my students. Last year I learned what worked and what didn’t, and I’m excited to put it into practice. 

One thing I’m nervous about is not being able to properly manage my time. Sometimes I feel like I put too much on my plate which causes me to be anxious. I also go through periods of extreme procrastination, so I hope this semester is a lot better.

Ms name is Chelsea Chizever. I am currently a 4th grade teacher and team lead at my school P.S. 41 Gunhill Road in the Bronx! I substitute taught on Long Island for three years, then took a jump and moved into Astoria 3 years ago to have a classroom of my own! Although COVID has changed a lot of aspects of teaching, I wouldn't trade my time with the DOE for anything. 

Something that has recently brought me joy was working with my theatre kids again out on the North Fork. We re-opened the theatre to live performances, which was incredibly special. Many of them (ages 14-22) missed out on their senior shows, graduations, and proms, so this was a very special experience for them. 

One thing I am nervous about this year is juggling grad school and becoming lead for an almost all new team at school. I am looking forward to seeing students daily in person! ]]> 2021-09-03 20:53:08 UTC https://padlet.com/marcus_art/h9wu8f4gon8uz2ne/wish/1716044829
