My name is Monica. I am in my second to the last semester at UHWO. I currently work at Alani Children's Center at KCC as a lead teacher with 3's and younger 4's. This is my second semester teaching so I am still learning each and everyday. I am the second of 4 children, 3 girls and one boy. My family speaks Cantonese. I was born in Manhattan, but raised in Hawaii since I was 2. On my free time, I love to eat; noodles are my favorite! I love to relax and just have alone time because of my crazy schedule. A great way for me to relieve stress is by going to the gym and doing some cardio, which also is good for my health!
I am excited to start this semester with everyone!
Monica
Aloha Monica,
ReplyDeleteThank you for sharing a little bit about yourself! I recently lived in Manhattan while I was attending Teachers College and I grew up with it being nearby. Do you get to go back and visit often? It's such an exciting place, but I feel like Hawaii is much more my speed. :)
I'm curious to see how you will apply the knowledge from this class with the young children you work with. As you said, you are still learning as a new teacher, but I feel the same way after having been in a classroom for many years. There's always something new to learn, to try, and to understand. I hope you will share those insights with us throughout the semester!
Again, thanks and welcome to the class!
I actually haven't been back since I left when I was a baby. I want to go someday!
