| Introduction | My name is Adam Shaffer and I am currently a freshman at Fairmont State University where I play tennis and I am planning to major in elementary education here. I am from Parkersburg WV and I would like to teach grades between second and fourth. I think students should engage in the lessons and be able to learn through activities. Children are the most important age where they should be taught the fundamental "building blocks of life." In my class we do activites where students would be up interacting while learning instead of sitting at the desks all the time. 2 quotes I like: ""It is the supreme art of the teacher to awaken joy in creative expression and knowledge." -- Albert Einstein and "A hundred years from now, it will not matter what kind of car I drove, what kind of house I lived in, how much money I had in the bank...but the world may be a better place because I made a difference in the life of a child." -- Forest Witcraft |
| Interests | I am highly intrested in tennis and the arts. I also aspire to be a great elementary teacher. |
| Favorite movies | October sky is one of my favorite teaching movies because of how supportive the teacher was to the boys who were building the rockets. I also like the Blind Side and how dedicated some teachers were to have the boy succeed. |
