My Prezi

My Prezi is a brief introduction of myself and my goals for teaching intervention. Making my Prezi has been fun. A prezi allows you to be more creative compared to a powerpoint. You have more options, for example movement, everything is not in a picture frame. Now for the negative. It has been difficult for me to embed the prezi to my blog.

“Three Great Teacher Blogs”

As a directionally challenged adult, the Blog gave me a fresh approach on how to teach with maps. With today’s technology maps are becoming a thing of the past. Maps are not only educational tool when learning about longitude and latitude; directionally, as a compass: north, south, east and west. Maps are also considered art no two maps are the same and date back to ancient Greek time.  The first Blog that I found was about maps. 

The elementary teacher created an original Blog that used color and shapes to grab the reader’s attention.  She also shared her likes and dislikes along with pictures of herself and family. By sharing her some of her personal information the reader can identify the teacher as person as well as a teacher

Ingenious! I love the idea, “word of the year”. As an elementary teacher I do think it is important to teach to the whole child. Literacy is everywhere in our lives this is simple but powerful approach to teaching about words. It teaches their various meanings and how the word can affect us as a person

Welcome to my Blog

I did it… my first blog!
WELCOME TO MY BLOG
Hello- My name is Lorrie. I am a wife, mother, daughter, sister, and student. When I am not busy with my family, working, or attending school I love to treasure hunt. I usually, drag a friend or family member along.  You wouldn't believe the treasures I have found at a thrift stores, garage sales, and estate sales. Once I found an antique cherry rocker. Most of the rocker was in a plastic garbage bag but that didn’t stop me from buying it. My husband and I assembled the rocker to its previous glory. What a proud moment; it looked beautiful!! I love turning trash into treasures and giving things a new life.

Currently, I work at OHS as the school clinic aide and attend Ashland University and CSCC. By continuing my education I am fulfilling my dream to become an intervention teacher in grades k-12. I can’t wait to bring my creativity to the classroom. As an intervention teacher my goals are to motivate, inspire students so they can achieve their individual learning goals. I promise to be supportive, empathetic and patient with students. Have a positive attitude; be respectful and trustworthy toward students. Provide a healthy and supervised environment for all students. Finally, listen to their needs and be willing to give them choices.
