Throughout my grade school years, there have been teachers who have had an impact on the way I am today. Going into a classroom and having it feel like home is a goal that I have when I become a teacher. I have had that experience and it changed the way I viewed school, and I want to do that for my future students. I have many members in my family that work in the school system, they range from teachers, administrators, and even coaches. I hope to be the teacher that leaves a footprint in each of my students lives. I hope to teach them how to be kind to everyone no matter where they come from or their background. This world can be such a cruel place that I want to help put some good back into it. School to me is not just about learning math or how to read but also learning social skills.
Ideally I am wanting to teach 1st-3rd grade. At this point in their lives they are still excited about learning new things. I love math and science the most but social studies, history, and english are also subjects that I would have to teach as well. Goals that I have for my classroom are to build a trusting relationship with each of my students. I want them to feel like they can come into my class and have it feel like a safe space whether they have that at home or not. Learning should be fun not stressful.
