Time Line

The first thing on my timeline will not be this but I figured I should start with an event that happened in my life that led me to want to teach,
I was in 1st grade and I finally for the first time ever finished my time test first after working many many many hours with my teacher. When I finished she made such a big deal about it and allowed me to pick out of a special drawer!

Ed 253-class survey

Personal Info:
Hello, my name is Dana Shenkel.
I am from Mentor Ohio .
My email is dshenkel13@jcu.edu
I am really want to teach at an early childhood level. The grade I would like is the 1st grade.
I'm a easy going person. I love being in my sorority here on campus with all of my theta sisters!

Learning style:
I have to be comfortable, and must be in a warm easy going environment.
I have to work hard at being a good student . School does not come easy to me. I have to see it and hear the information. I also write it down. Its what helps me remember!

Education past and present-
I remember being the the 1st grade and being the first one to finish there timed math test. I remember doing flash cards with my parents and being so excited since normally I never finished in the top 5 .

I think the scariest part of education is the school closures especially the catholic and private school.
In my opinion future teachers should not be in a class at their college they should be in school learning with children.
