Summary

My past personal and professional experiences make me a quality candidate for the position I am applying for because I have a total of 6 years of classroom experience as a teacher. I have taught 4 year old PreK for 2 years, served as a 3 and 4 year old Sunday School teacher and also served as the Children's Church teacher for our church's 3 and 4 year olds. I loved being able to work with children and being able to share the Word and Love of God! I love working with students and motivating them to do their best to become successful. I have learned over the years what works best for me to have great classroom management. I like to learn from all the people around me in my field to become the best teacher I can be.
