About Me
My name is Mrs. Alexsonshk (Alex-onch) or you can call me Mrs. A. I am currently a student teacher in Mr. Margletta's classroom. This December I hope to graduate from Ohio University with my Bachelor's Degree in Middle Childhood Science and Social Studies Education.
My educational philosophy is:
-help the student understand how they best learn then design lessons to foster their learning style and provide individualized study tips
-use students prior knowledge as a foundation for lessons
-allow the students to have an active role in the classroom by encouraging participation, cooperative learning, and a democratic atmosphere
-understand the students (likes, dislikes, interests, diversity) in order to make meaningful lessons and activities
-create a positive and safe learning environment
I grew up in Fairview Park, Ohio and moved to Kent for my freshman year of college at Kent State University. I then I moved to New Concord, Ohio to be closer to my husband. I completed the rest of my college career at Ohio University.
I currently reside in New Philadelphia with my husband and 4 month old son. I love gardening, cooking, photography, and spending time with my family.
My goals for this semester are:
-to know all my students by name (hopefully by the end of the second week of school)
-to make learning interesting, enriching, and fun
-to create a safe learning environment (especially when doing labs in science class)
-to utilize technology when teaching
-to create some awesome classroom bulletin boards (which I will post here on my blog)
I am really looking forward to a great semester!
-Mrs. A
