My name is Amanda Lopez. I am 24 years old.
I am a Pre-K 3 teacher at Adventures in Learning Day Care located in Hoboken, NJ. I have been teaching there for about a year now, but have been working with children ages infant to twelve years old for about 10 years. I recently graduated in May 2015 from New Jersey City University with my Bachelor's Degree in Psychology and Early Childhood Education, and I am returning back to NJCU for my Master's and certification in Reading Specialist. I hope to graduate with my reading specialist certification and teach in a public school to help children who are low or behind in reading and assist and supervise teachers who are specialized in reading also.
I am engaged to my fiance, whom I have been dating for eight years now. We plan to get married in May 2017. We recently just moved into our first apartment in Union City, NJ. Below is a picture of him and I. Some of my interests and hobbies are shopping, baking, going to the movies, and reading. One thing I have always been interested in and wanted to learn, and I promise myself I will learn one day, is American Sign Language.
From this course, I hope to learn and understand more about children's literature and the hidden meaning behind some children's books.
I look forward to learning a lot of interesting facts from this course and take what I learn and bring it to the classroom where I work.
Congratulations on graduating! Reading specialist is such an important position. They really do make a difference in the lives of our students. I have worked 17 in the school system and our specialists work one on one with students everyday. They really do mpact students who need the extra instruction. I look forward to working and learning with you.
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing. I look forward to getting to know you better.
ReplyDeleteWish you luck if and whenever you pursue on a teaching role. Though, I would suggest you to pursue as a reading specialist position. Congrats and a very good deed done by creating a program which specializes in helping adults with various disabilities. Helping people who have lost hope or are struggling in living independently and encouraging them with whatever you do, I applause. It is not easy and you are changing some people’s lives.
