Hello.  My name is Miss Connie and it is so nice to meet you.  Thank you for checking out my profile.

Teaching language to students is fun and challenging (we have so many exceptions to the rule).  Things such as letter names and sounds, consonant blends and digraphs, word recognition and blending, regular and irregular plurals, creating sentences using descriptive words, and so on, are rewarding to teach, because with all of these things comes growth in the ability to read, write and communicate.

I have always been fascinated by the uniqueness and diversity of animals.  They are so many cool and interesting ones out there.  Did you know that a blue whale’s tongue weighs more than the average elephant?  Or that butterflies taste with their feet?  I enjoy incorporating animals into my lessons when I can and hope to offer some classes soon on some specific animals.

I really enjoy working with kids and youth and feel privileged to have worked with them for over 25 years in various capacities including teaching in classroom settings, in community programs, in school assemblies, for homeschool organizations, at summer camps and retreats, at my church, and in online classrooms.  Kids and youth are amazing people, each with their own likes, dislikes, personalities, skills, etc.  It’s really is cool to meet each one and get to know them a little as we learn and grow.

Besides a love for teaching, I also love playing sports and games with my kids (especially basketball and dutch blitz), being creative with arts and crafts, and getting out in nature (beaches and mountains are both awesome!).

I look forward to meeting many amazing young people and hope to bring fun and excitement to the classroom as we learn and grow.
