ABOUT ME!
My name is KaTia Roberts, and I am currently pursuing a degree in Middle Grades Education. The Middle Grades Education degree allowed me to choose two concentration areas, and the two areas I chose are Mathematics and English. As a child, I always enjoyed reading and grammar class, and as a future educator, I hope to give my students this same enjoyment. In my spare time, I enjoy volunteering at my old middle school. I love being an inspiration for the students and showing them that they can go as far in life as they want. I really enjoy volunteering with the ladies basketball team because I once played there myself. I never knew how rewarding "going back home" could be until my middle school basketball coach called me to help him with the team. It is an honor to give back to my community. I graduate in December of 2019, and my goal is to return to my middle school to teach and coach the ladies basketball team.
I am a strong believer in building relationships with my students. My classroom is set up to make students feel safe and ready to learn. If I cannot reach my students personally, I cannot reach them educationally. All my lessons stems from my students interest. Building rapport and respect with students is the most important asset I have as a teacher. Your child is always safe in my classroom, and I want them to know that. Before I teach a student, it is important to know the person I am teaching. Besides my love for children, I love the mortuary industry. In 2015, I received an Associate's Degree in Mortuary Science. I take pride in helping families during their hard times. I am also a Certified Nursing Assistant, and I also take pride in caring for my residents. My goal is to convey to my students that there are more careers out here other than being a teacher, doctor, lawyer, etc. I also want them to know that it is okay to step outside the box, and out of most people comfort areas. Overall, I enjoy helping others and watching students grow, and I cannot wait to see this in my students. |
Some books I enjoy readingTwilight by Stephanie Meyer
The Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins The Secret Life of Bees by Sue Monk Kid |
Why those books?As you can see by my book choices, I love to read books that have movies. Mainly because I love to analyze the two, and it makes reading the book more exciting for me.
