My name is Valerie Babek. I am currently a junior at Cal State University San Marcos. This is my first semester here at this University. I am majoring in liberal studies, and I am in an integrated credential program so that I can get my teaching credentials at the same time.
I have always wanted to teach elementary school. I would ideally love to teach third grade someday. I want to become a role model to my students and make a difference in their lives. I want to develop a relationship of trust with each of my students and really be able to connect with them. I will be an extremely happy individual once I get a teaching job someday.
Overtime I have done many observing and volunteering experiences in elementary schools. Over the last few years I have helped out at two different elementary schools and in three different grades levels. I have volunteered in kindergarten, third grade, and fifth grade. These experiences have been very exciting for me because I have been able to be hands on in the profession I want someday.
I am very excited to be taking this class and to learn new technology skills that I can use when I become a teacher.
Hi Valerie! Welcome to CSUSM; I am sure you are going to enjoy your time here! Where are you a transfer from? I wish I had known about that integrated credential program here earlier on, I think its a great option! What about teaching do you think interests you? And what about third grade specifically? I use technology daily as well, via my phone, laptop, and my Facebook account. Although I am a Kinesiology major with an emphasis in Physical Education, I too have spent a great deal of tie observing in various classrooms within Escondido and San Marcos. Good luck with the rest of your time here!
