Teaching

Two people that have really inspired me are Ms. Fernandez and Mr. Ogawa. They both have unique styles of teaching and have helped me grow to challenge myself any many ways. They are resilient and have a great attitude everyday.

Mr. Ogawa is a Science teacher and wears many different hats. He works with coding, gardening, aquaponics, K-6 science, and so much more. His list can go on and on. As I was creating this website, I learned how to code and embed links. I knew he would be so proud! Mr. Ogawa has taught me to challenge students by continuously asking them questions. This allows them to think deeper to help justify their answers. We always co-teach new science lessons and use trial and error method to see if it will be successful or not. One quality I admire of Mr. Ogawa is that he is not afraid to fail! We learn to modify the lessons as we go and always has a plan b for everything. Thank you Mr. Ogawa for all your hard work at our school!

Ms. Fernandez is a sped resource teacher. I had the privilege of working with her in 3rd and 4th grade. Let me tell you, she is amazing! She is an advocate for the students and goes over and beyond to meet their needs. I honestly couldn't survive without her! She gives me ideas on how I can better adjust any behavior problems that may occur. She has resources for days!

Our school has so many wonderful teachers and these two are just a few teachers that I worked closely with over the years. I absolutely love my school and the positve atmosphere that our principal has created. Our Motto is Learn More, Care More, and Be More. Today, I challenge you to Be More. Discover something new in yourself that you didn't know you could do. For me, it was creating this website!
