✨Meet your teacher: Chelsea ✨
What is your favorite activity to do with your students?
I love reading books and playing board games! Good books capture the attention of the group and spark a discussion about what we can learn from the story. Games teach SO many components- direction following, sportsmanship, playful teasing, number recognition, following the rules despite setbacks, fine motor skills. I love when all these components come together so students can happily play with friends and family.
What is your favorite classroom moment or memory?
One of many was celebrating a new holiday this year- Peep Day. Students colored paper eggs and had to take care of them all morning. They hatched in the afternoon and the magic was so thrilling for them! Another is giving my class eyeball stickers to put around the room, we had a Mr. Trash Can, Mr. Phone, etc.
What is your favorite skill to teach your students?
I love teaching advocacy skills- teaching kids in role play outside of challenging moments and then see the skill generalize to real life. Seemingly small moments make the biggest difference for students in the classroom, the community, and at home.
What is one thing you hope every student knows when they leave your classroom?
Do what matters and be the real you!
If you could spend one day as any fictional character, who would you pick?
Madeline! One of my favorite books growing up, I always admired her bravery.
