ALL ABOUT YOUR TEACHER, MS. SARAH CONNOLLY! |
My Credentials:
I have a Bachelor's Degree in English from University of California, Irvine and two AA degrees in English Literature and Liberal Arts with an Emphasis in Arts and Humanities from MiraCosta Community College. I am currently in the CSUSM Single Subject Teacher Credential Program and will graduate in May 2016 with a credential in English.
My Classroom Philosophy:
My philosophy stems from progressivism and the idea of hand-on learning. I believe that students should be able to explore and discover new ideas and concepts in however way they learn best and be able to support their thinking and share their knowledge with their classmates. I believe in cultivating an atmosphere of encouragement and respect in the classroom. Every student is valuable to the classroom and has valuable input. I strongly promote collaboration, critical thinking, and the idea of learning from others. I hope to empower and motivate my students in to becoming great learners and thinkers. My goal is to have them take ownership of their learning, actively pursue knowledge and success, and become great citizens and leaders of our world.
Fun Facts:
- I love reading, watching TV (Netflix is one of the greatest inventions EVER), going to Disneyland, seeing plays/musicals, and chillin' at the beach with my friends.
- I enjoy eating chocolate and drinking caffeine way too much.
- My favorite soda is Dr. Pepper, but I will accept a Coca Cola in its place.
- If I could eat anything forever, it's a tie between pizza and ceasar salad (w/Dr. Pepper) and Cinnabon and donuts (w/Starbucks grande iced caramel macchiato).
- My favorite shows of all time are "Alias," "Chuck," "Heroes," "24," and "Modern Family."
- I can't wait to see all of the future Marvel films, the new Star Wars film, and all the new Disney and Pixar films!
