Greeting classmates!

My name is Erin McDaniel, from Bridgeport, WV. I am a student at Fairmont State University, studying to be an elementary/art teacher. If I could teach any grade, I would like to teach 2nd grade. When i was in elementary school, my favorite teacher was my 2nd grade teacher. She made learning fun and enjoyable. She made connections with her students. I feel I can make teaching fun and not some kind of boring thing that kids dread doing. I feel that if students have fun learning, their capacity to learn increases. I would have different hands on learning stations set up for the different units we are learning. I would also teach them about different cultures, so they can begin developing into well rounded individuals.
