All+About+Me



About Me: Hello everyone! My name is Bethany Beals, I will be your kindergarten teacher for the year.I am 21 years young and have been in the teaching field for many years. I LOVE TEACHING! My passion for teaching started at an early age and although there were times when I did not think that was what I actually wanted to do, but I have always been led back to it. When I was around 14 years old I started helping out in a Sunday School class at my church, shortly after that at the age of sixteen I started my first job at a pre-school. I worked there for many years until unfortunately we closed. I then started working as a pre-school teacher at Primrose at Saddle Rock. I absolutely love what I do. I am now attending Metro State College in Denver, CO human development and elementary education. I am so excited to have each and everyone of you in my classroom. It is going to be a great year! 

Educational Philosophy: As a teacher I am committed to providing an environment that is comfortable for every student that enters my classroom. A comfortable, loving and nurturing environment is a must in my classroom. By establishing a classroom where each child feels comfortable we will have a safe environment where children will feel safe sharing and learning with other students as well as the teacher. Students in my classroom will be able to take risks, share their ideas and explore many different topics with many different materials. The students will learn in many different ways; with the teacher as a guide, self exploration/ child directed activities, hands on learning, reading, and writing, listening, and playing. The curriculum will include whole class activities, small group activities and individual activities; small group activities will help children get to know each other and create friendships in the classroom. Every child needs someone to socialize and feel comfortable with. My classroom will be a place where children want to come and explore whatever we are doing in the classroom. Each child will be exposed to the many different ways of learning. Every child learns differently but it is important that each of them becomes well rounded, for their future. I believe that the curriculum needs to focus on life interests and core values that are built upon every year. Each student will gain knowledge and skills that are needed throughout life. The curriculum will focus on analyzing the knowledge given so that each child will be able to apply it to their worlds. My curriculum will include the thoughts and interests of every child in the classroom. We will be learning many things that interest and excite them, having an excitement for learning is imperative in my classroom. Children will use creativity and their own ideas to complete the assignments; they will have many resources to available to them. Advancing technology is huge in everyone’s lives. We will be using technology daily in the classroom; computers, internet, videos, recordings, and much more will be incorporated into our lesson plans. This will keep our students up with the technologies available and will help them succeed in the future. Each student will be expected to have a respect for each of their classmates, their school, their teachers and parents. We will establish this within our classroom rules. Each student will be responsible for their own assignments and actions throughout the entire school year. Responsibility is a key attribute for students to learn at a young age. For myself I believe that teaching is one of the most exciting and challenging careers out there. I love being able to open many pathways for students to explore. I hope to instill my passion for learning inside of each student that walks into my classroom. I am dedicated and passionate about what I do and am excited to learn alongside with my students. I have hopes that I grow as much as the teacher as my students do throughout the year. I always strive to be the best teacher that I can be.
