All+About+Me

Getting To Know Ms. Jordan Hi! My Name is Lisa Jordan. Your students will know me as Ms. Jordan. I am so excited to have each and every one of your students in my 2nd grade class this year! I received my degree in early childhood education from Metropolitan State College of Denver in the spring of 2012.

This year is my first year as a teacher, so while teaching your students, I will be learning right along with them. Each student is an individual child that brings a different personality, learning style, and interest to the table. I will do my best to incorporate all of my students interest into the classroom to make learning the most fun and engaging for your children as possible.

I believe that literacy is the gateway to every other subject because it is how we communicate when we don’t talk to one another. Rather than making calls, many students now text. They need to know how to read to send emails, find research information in a book, write an email, and to enjoy reading a story themselves. Because of this, I will be providing a literacy rich classroom and pull reading into every subject that I teach. To teach literacy, I will also cater to the interest of students in my classroom and encourage them to explore the world around them through literacy.

I believe that to make learning more fun, dynamic, and individualistic that technology is an important tool to use in the classroom. Students are more wired in than they ever have been before. Therefore, as a teacher I have a responsibility to teach my students how to make creative and relevant projects on the computer, how to effectively research online, and how certain tools can help with the organization of drafts and new ideas.

Technology will also be used in the classroom to give presentations and help introduce new concepts because its use caters to a wider audience of learners and makes learning more individualistic for all students.
