My name is Jessa Barcus. I am a first year teacher at Kipnuk and I teach special education 7-12. Currently, I am teaching video production and co-teach math and reading 7-12. I am excited to see how I can integrate the material that I learn in this course with the variety of courses that I teach. It will be interesting to see how It can be used to across grade levels.
Hi,
I'm Seraphima Carl, and I teach 7-12 math, K-12 music, and 9-12 social studies at Z.J. Williams in Napaskiak. I got my teaching certificate after I fell in love with Napaskiak; the only way for me to live there was for me to teach there, so now I teach.
As an art (music) teacher, I am always open to resources that appeal to the more affective side of my students.
My name is Becky Spets. I teach 3rd grade in Bethel. I've been here 4 years, and love working with the kids. I didn't go to college until I was a grandma, and I'm finding myself quite slow catching on with using technology. I may need more guidance, but I'm excited about the challenge.
Hello all,
I am Amelia Savinova and I teach 2nd and 3rd grade English Language Arts at Ayagina'ar Elitnaurvik in Kongiganak, Alaska. I have been in LKSD for while and a few years back I finished my elementary certification and found my niche. In this ANUAH class I am hoping to learn more about primary sources and how to find them so I feel more comfortable using them with my little guys. Further, my students like pictures and learn a lot from them so I want to so more in that genre. Last semester I attended the music and dance course and I was able to take it right back to my classroom. We learned American colonial dances and had a blast doing it. I want to keep jazzing up the classroom and finding more ways to teach that foster engagement. I am thinking I will not be disappointed!
