Impacting Students
I enjoy teaching and helping children learn about emotions and I label emotions as often as possible by empathizing with their feelings. Doing so guides them into understanding the feelings they experience daily. I use expressive words that help define the exact emotion and children learn to use emotional words accurately and in the right context. Children are constantly creating their vocabulary. The more we give the words for their feelings the more they can express themselves and know their emotions are being understood.
Lifelong Learner
I attended the Rocky Mountain Early Childhood Conference in Denver. One of the keynote speakers was Shiza Shahid, a woman who co-founded the Malala Fund with Nobel Prize winner Malala Yousafzai. Shiza is determined to build a lasting organization that helps women around the world get access to education. She inspires others and drive issues, advocates for policy and system changes, and invests in solutions that provide education. Listening to such an ambitious speaker share about working on such an amazing cause and her ability to amplify girls’ voices was remarkable. I left the conference feeling grateful for such an outstanding school and community that I get to be part of and in which education is truly valued. Shiza truly gave me a different viewpoint and perspective on education.
Favorite Teaching Moment
One student of mine was determined to learn all the names of her classmates. The day after we practiced saying them, she came in to the classroom pronouncing them with emphasis in the exact same way I had shown her the day prior. It was comical to see my same facial expressions portrayed through one of my students.
