Hi, I'm Sarah and I am a Junior at the University of Wisconsin LaCrosse. I am Majoring in Elementary education with a double minor in social studies and early childhood. This minor will provide me with certification in preschool through grade nine. I am hoping that will make me very marketable as a teacher. I am producing this website for one of my college classes called educational media. This is a media class for teachers, it teaches them how to use all different types of media in the classroom. I first attended the University of Minnesota Twin Cities where I majored in architecture. After one semester at the U of M I decided it was not the school for me, and I transferred to the University of Wisconsin LaCrosse. I decided to go into teaching because I have been involved in teaching for quite some time. My teaching experience started when I received my water safety instructor certification, I have been teaching swimming lessons for the past four years. I have also had experience teaching through my job at the LaCrosse Family YMCA where I am a gymnastics coach. I have enjoyed teaching at the Y for the past two and a half years. At the YMCA I teach children ranging in age from three years old to twelve years old. Some of my hobbies as you can probably tell are swimming and gymnastics, I also enjoy doing crafts; for example mod-podge and scrapbooking. Other things I enjoy are spending time with my friends and family and reading. |
