Resume and Standards Brochure

This week I created an up to date resume and a teaching standards brochure. I think they turned out great! I used templates on Microsoft Word 2007. I added the resume and brochure to my E-portfolio. You can find that at www.cherianderson.wordpress.com. :)

Autobiographical Sketch


I chose to become a teacher because I feel that I can make a significant difference in students lives. My third grade teacher was very kind and always took care of her students and she has become my inspiration to pursue education as a career. I want to help each of my students to learn that they are unique and intelligent in their own way. I love helping children learn and I want to experience the joy of being able to assist children in the learning process.
Teaching also fits into my lifestyle as a mother. As a educator, my schedule will be similar to my children and I will be able to spend as much time as possible with them. Being educated and knowing the curriculum will also help me to teach my children at home and assist them with their school work. I look forward to having a respected career as a teacher that will allow me to also spend time with my family.
I feel that I have many personal attributes that will contribute to a successful career as a teacher. My commitment to complete tasks that I begin will improve my ability to fully teach my students the curriculum. I am an honorable person who follows the rules and I will always try to do what is most beneficial for my students. Also, I am friendly, so hopefully my students and their parents will be able to easily communicate with me. My creativity will help me to prepare a fun learning environment in my classroom and design enjoyable activities for my students. My ability to organize will help me to plan lessons for different courses of study and use class time efficiently. My personal attributes and my love for children and learning make me confident that teaching is what I was meant to do.
I see myself having a long life and accomplishing a majority of my long term goals. In the near future, I aspire to graduate college with a degree in elementary education. I hope to get a job at an elementary school and buy a home in a respectable neighborhood close by. I would love to someday have a second child and I hope to raise my children to be loving Christians and responsible citizens. After a fulfilling career as a teacher, I plan to retire with my husband and spend my old age traveling and enjoying my grandchildren. I know if I work hard and believe in myself, I can have a beautiful life and obtain my lifetime goals.

Photo Story

We learned how to use a microsoft program called Photo Story 3. You select pictures that you want to be part of the slide show, then you can add titles, transitions and music. It's really cool! I chose to make a story about my baby boy Dallen. I had a lot of fun making it and I am proud of how it turned out!

Digital Scavenger Hunt

Today in class we did a digital camera scavenger hunt. We were given a list of shapes to take pictures of. We made a power point presentation to display the pictures and we explained the shapes that we found. It was fun to present the powerpoint together as a group.
We also learned about wikis. Some examples of wikis are wikipedia.com and urbandictionary.com. From what I understand a wiki is basically a already made website that anyone can update and change. They can give their own ideas oppinions or definitions.
Thats all for this week!
