Multiday: How Does My Body Work? - An Overview

Hello! Welcome to the wonderful world that is Teacher Gaby's classroom! In my classroom we will cover topics big and small, far and wide. My background is in Molecular and Cellular Biology which I majored in as an undergraduate student because of my curiosity to learn everything there was to know about the smallest unit of life - the cell! Throughout my life I have always ventured on great learning adventures following my curious mind's desire to learn as much as I could about anything I was even remotely curious about. My most recent learning adventure was in obtaining my Master of Science degree in Organizational Psychology.

I have taught students of all ages throughout my career from 3 to 18 years old! My experience with teaching Middle School Science was a joy as I thoroughly enjoyed every single unit taught in the curriculum from Soil Erosion to Plate Tectonics to Earth and Space! I have also greatly enjoyed volunteering for local children's museums and Girl Scout/Boy Scout programs where I taught kids the principles behind "fun" science and even made everyday life's "boring" science seem like great fun! In addition, I also facilitated financial planning workshops to high school students during my time in Retail Banking where I delved deep into my passion for helping young learners appreciate the importance of "real life" skills. My current experiences teaching online English as a Second Language (ESL) classes have also given me quality insight into the linguistic mind of children as young as 3 years old. And, let me tell you, it is such a wonder to behold!

As someone who considers herself a life-long learner by profession, I love to help others (especially young learners) to explore their interests and discover new passions. Whether it be by learning hands-on, reading, or writing, I believe that children should be given every opportunity to actively learn at a young age when their minds are most curious so that they may cultivate that life-long passion for learning. To that effect, I have always been an avid reader and writer as well as a scientific mind and understand the importance of developing all aspects of a child's learning. I am also a mother of two beautiful daughters ages 2 and 4 who I enjoy teaching new things to every day. With this new and exciting role as a mom I am more excited than ever to share my enthusiasm for learning with other young learners. I hope you will grant me the honor of choosing me as a guide for YOUR young learner on this exciting journey that is life where the adventure IS the learning.
