Introduction


Hello everyone....

   My name is Jeanna Woods. 2 years ago I had a life changing experience and switched careers from assistant director of a childcare program to a TA in my local school district. Once there I realized that I could reinstate my certification and start teaching in the classroom. So I spent that half of that first year as a long term sub in a Kindergarten classroom. When a 2nd grade teacher moved out of district I jumped at the chance to have my own room.  I am now currently a second year teacher in the finger lakes area, teaching 2nd grade in a CT classroom. I chose to pursue my master's in education so that I could obtain my professional teaching certificate, I chose curriculum and instruction as I believe that this is where I can learn and apply the most to my current classroom.

I am excited to learn in this course as technology is always something that I feel like I am behind on, especially in the classroom. I am hoping that I can gain some knowledge and experience that I can integrate into my classroom and pass on to the parents.

I am a mom to one teenager that is involved with sports, music and scouts so I am constantly on the go. In my free time I am an avid reader, love to go camping and kayaking in the summer, and just spending time with my family.
