Hello everyone! My name is Megan Aspenes and I am a third grade teachers. I graduated from Concordia University in Edmonton, Alberta in 2008. I've taught Kindergarten, Grade 2, Grade 3, Grade 4, Grade 5 and Grade 6. My educational philosophy focuses on making learning part of every day life and learning from our experiences. Look for the curriculum connections and you will find them! Currently I am on maternity leave after giving birth to a very premature baby girl. She's growing every and and is very healthy. I love spending time with her and being at home to watch her grow. In my spare time (naptime mostly!) I have been re-designing and updating some classic creations and uploading them to my Teachers Pay Teachers page Megan's Creative Classroom. I have many free items because who doesn't like free stuff?! and many very reasonably priced items as well. I'm adding new stuff as often as I can so check it out regularly. Follow me for updates on new items!!
Hello everyone. My name is Megan and I'm an elementary teacher! I graduated from Concordia University in Edmonton, Alberta in 2008. I started with a grade 4 maternity leave fresh out of University. Now I'm on maternity leave myself and have a beautiful baby girl. To share my engaging and authentic learning tasks with the world I've been re-designing some of my favourite works and projects and posting them on my TPT site: Megan's Creative Classroom!!
I enjoy the distinction you made, perhaps without even realizing it, when you said you have "so many ideas for how to teach them...". I think it really speaks to your character as a teacher, and as a person, that you consider yourself a teacher of children, not subjects. You could just have easily said that you have many ideas for how to teach it (ELA), but you didn't. The main focus of your class and classroom is the students, and it is evident in everything you do: the stories you tell, the pedagogy to which you subscribe, the joy the profession brings you, everything. Just another reason why I'm so proud of you. :)
