We'd Like to Introduce To You...

We'd like to introduce to you: Miss Alison!  Miss Alison is going to college at Missouri State University and has chosen our classroom to spend the next 7 weeks with for her student teaching, after which she'll graduate from MSU!

So before we end up telling you everything about her, here she is!

I am very excited to be a part of Mrs. Cantrell's classroom for the next several weeks!  I have dreamed of becoming an early elementary school teacher for many years, and my time here at Fremont is the last part of my education before I can have a classroom of my own.  My passion for working with children has grown through many experiences including working at various day camps in Springfield and volunteering at summer camps, working at a preschool, experiences in schools through other MSU courses, and various other experiences.  I also love spending time in the outdoors camping, floating, biking, and hiking.  Even though I am excited to be a teacher, I still love to learn myself, and my favorite way to learn is through traveling and experiencing new things.  I was fortunate to study abroad during my junior year at MSU to Greece for a semester, and I have also traveled to Honduras, China, and Uganda for missions.  I hope to bring these experiences into the classroom as I begin planning the "World Around Me" unit!

Thank you for welcoming me into the classroom!  Already I have enjoyed seeing all of the wonderful learning and growing that takes place everyday.  I hope to teach all of the students in the classroom even just half as much as they and Mrs. Cantrell will be teaching me!
