一緒に書く - あなたと私だけ

Hi Kids!  My name is Mrs. Schweinsberg.  That's a long name, so you can call me Ms. Bonnie. I am so happy to meet you!  My favorite subjects are READING and WRITING, but I love learning and teaching about all different subjects.  The friend you see in my photo is Hazel.  She's a reading dog for Canine Classmates.  Hazel and I read with students who need our help. 
    Hi Adults! It is a pleasure to meet you, too!  I'm a military (retired) wife, mother, grandmother, and retired teacher.  I have a Bachelor of Science Degree in Education with a minor in Reading from Texas State University.  I am certified in Reading and General Education grades 1-8.  
    I started teaching sixth grade elementary in public school in 1990. After three years, I became a stay-at-home mom for fifteen years. I volunteered in my sons' classrooms and substitute taught for their school districts in FL, AR, AL, VA, and TX.  
     I returned to teaching full time as a Special Education Behavior teacher, working with students who had significant behavior difficulties.  After six years in Special Education, I moved into general education to teach first grade, where I retired in 2018.  After retiring, I became a Canine Classmates Best Buddy.  I work with my dog Hazel, tutoring and reading with at-risk students in first, second, and third grade.      
     I teach with a growth mindset philosophy, where effort is expected and praised, and students understand it's always okay to make mistakes!  It's also okay to have fun!  As long as we're trying our best and growing, we're moving forward.  I will use my expertise and energetic teaching style to give students the tools they need to GROW as life long learners. I look forward to the opportunity to work with your child!
