Hi Everyone! I'm Laura Jenkins and I live in Maryland, just outside Annapolis, and quite close to the Chesapeake Bay. I'm attending SAU to receive my Bachelor's in Elementary Education. I'm more of a hands-on or kinesthetic learner, so these online courses have sometimes been a struggle. I intend to be successful in this by taking lots of notes, researching and practicing what we've learned. It's hard to formulate what my professional goals are going to be. Right now, I'm more concerned with graduating, finding a teaching job, building a strong relationship with other teachers in the school (for support), and having control of my classroom. Of course, to be an effective teacher, one must continually take professional development courses. I believe down the road I would like to be certified as an ELL teacher.
I'm a single mom of a 5th grade student. I coached my son's soccer team for several seasons and I've taught PFY (Partnering for Youth) at the elementary school, which entailed drawing and sports classes.
