Counselor, E5 Years of experience: I have been teaching students for 22 years in the Wichita Public School system. I taught third, fourth and fifth graders for eleven years. Then I graduated with my Masters Degree in Counseling and became the school counselor at Rea Woodman. College: I went to Hutchinson Community College, then to Oklahoma State University and graduated from Wichita State University. I learned very much at the three colleges I attended. Family: I am married with two dogs. Bentlee is eight years old and he is our family pet. Cheyenne is three years of age and she is a Professional Therapy Dog and she works with the students at Woodman Elementary. Cheyenne loves going to school with me and she looks forward to having her ears rubbed. Hobbies: I like to bake goodies to share with others. I enjoy making Christmas ornaments, plates and other unusual items. I love going out to eat, but I am fairly certain eating is not a hobby! Teaching philosophy: If you think you can, you can! The hardest part of achieving a goal is getting started. Most memorable moment in teaching career: I have so many it is difficult to choose just one. I have many funny and cute memories and lots of memories of seeing a child’s face light up when they understand something. |

Therapy Dog Years of Experience: 3 years as a professional therapy dog College: I graduated with my degree in being Public Access Trained when I was only 14 months old! Family: I have a great family. I have a mom and dad that love me very much. When it is my birthday, I get a little cup of Dairy Queen ice cream. I love vanilla ice cream. I also have an older brother, Bentlee, but I am bigger than him so sometimes I bother him. For example: I steal his chew toy when he's not looking or I try to take his raw hide bone. He pays me back though by taking some of my dog food. Hobbies: I like it when my parents take me on long rides to New Mexico so I can see my "doggie" cousins. Last summer, there was a total of five dogs altogether, man, oh, man, did I have fun. I love running after my tennis ball and chasing my big brother, Bentlee, around the yard and house. I also love playing with grasshoppers in the summer time and going for walks around the neighborhood. I love Christmas because Grandma and Grandpa Green send Bentlee and me lots of toys and dog treats. Most memorable teaching experience: Never bite the hand that gets you Dairy Queen ice cream. It is nicer to kiss than to be hit. And I don't care who you are, I will always love you. |

Years of experience: 22; I'm lucky because 20 of these years have been at Woodman, my second home! Last year I became the Technology Resource teacher at Woodman, a different but rewarding experience. I believe that technology plays an important part in a child’s education. There are numerous opportunities to enhance learning through technology in the classroom and I am excited to play a part in teaching teachers to use technology. College: B.A. in Education from Wichita State University Family: Husband, Weldon and two grown children plus two grand children. Hobbies: Sewing, working with a teenage service organization Teaching philosophy: I believe that all students spend about the first three years of school learning to read and the rest their life reading to learn. I love to teach third graders because third grade is often the time that students make the switch. It is quite rewarding to watch them make that change. I always hope that every child leaves my class as a life long reader. Most memorable moment in teaching career: There have been so many. Each year brings a new memorable moment. |
