What about Fifth Grade? |
|
Welcome! I
am Shiloh May, your child’s teacher this year.
This is my fifth year teaching, but I consider myself to have
been in the classroom since I was in grade school!
My mom used to teach, and I spent several of my summer weeks
helping her prepare her classroom.
I have
lived in Canon City all of my life.
In fact, I am a third generation child in Canon City (on both
sides of my family). However,
I attended Adams State College in Alamosa, Colorado for four years.
In 2003, I lived in Summit County, Colorado where I taught
outdoor science education to children ages 8-17. And, in the summer of
2004, I lived
in Bloomsburg, Pennsylvania.
One of
the things I would love to instill in all children is how a love of
reading can take you anywhere you want to go.
There have been several occasions where I have read about
“faraway” places and dreamed to go there.
Fortunately, I have been able to go to several of my dream
places: Mount Rushmore, the
Statue of Liberty, a Presidential inauguration, Washington D.C., Cape
Cod, and many other wonderful places.
It is my goal to visit every state before I am married and to
backpack through Europe before I have kids. I received a BA degree from Adams State College, in 2001. Currently, I am working on an 18-month master’s degree in curriculum and assessment through Adams State College. Not only do I share a passion for teaching, I also enjoyed working as a journalist. In the summers of 2000 and 2001, I worked for the Canon City Daily Record. Again, reading can take you anywhere you want to go!!! Through my work for the Daily Record, I got to go rafting for free, report on several high-crime trials, and witness a laparoscopic surgery first-hand. My true philosophy is that the biggest lesson we can all learn in life is that, "reading can take us anywhere!"
