Hello Parents,
I would like to take this time to introduce myself!
You may or may not have heard about me from your children, but I wanted to
formally introduce myself now that I will be working with your children
everyday for the next 10 weeks!
I am Division 5's Teacher Candidate.
I am currently in school (at UBC) working to complete my Bachelor of Education
to become a certified teacher! This semester, I am lucky enough to be given the
opportunity to teach in your children’s classroom for my practicum.
Just a little bit about myself... Before entering
UBC's teaching program, I worked in the not-for-profit sector at the BC Lung
Association as a Special Events Associate for a year and a half. Despite the
great team I worked with and all we accomplished, I decided I wanted to
pursue a career teaching children - something I had extensive experience with
in my early 20s and thoroughly missed. It wasn’t until my life changing trip to
Peru where I volunteered at an after school-program that I made the
decision to go back to school to earn my teaching license. I'm happy to report
I made the right decision. I find it incredibly rewarding that I have the
opportunity to shape the minds of young people while also being a positive role
model in their lives.
Please do not hesitate to drop by the classroom and
say hello! Also if you have any questions, I'm more than happy to answer them
in person or by email. You can contact me at awong238@gmail.com.
I look forward to meeting all of you and most of
all, getting to know your children!
Ms. Wong
