2.1.3.

I am currently teaching 2 grade 1 classes, math, science and social studies in Altona MB.  My reason for becoming a teacher were very practical to start.  When I was in the faculty of education at Brandon University very few teachers were getting jobs right out of university and I realized that being a male teacher in early elementary might give me an advantage in finding a job.  I now realize that the beginning of the education process is vital in producing life-long learners.
I have continued teaching early elementary students because they are fun and energetic and produce many new and interesting challenges.  My goal is to help kids realize themselves as learners and to keep them excited about the world around them.  I would like to see the kids who leave my class as more independent and curious about the world and to have bettered some of the basic skills needed to communicate and ask questions of the people and world around them.
