Getting To Know Me

Hi Everyone. Sorry it has taken me forever to get this thing up and running. One piece of advice...Don't start your year off by being sick!!

Anywho...About Me! Well My name is Lauren Cooper and I am a senior majoring in Elementary Education with a concentration in Language Arts. My love in life is children, they always have been. I started working with kids when I was 11 years old by babysitting. I have worked with children in many environments, such as, working in a pre-school, daycare, nanny'ing, working at a camp...the list goes on. I can't wait to start student teaching next year!

What else is there to know about me?! I am extremely outgoing and love to have fun. I am constantly laughing or making others laugh. I am very much a girly-girl. I like to spend my time hanging out with my friends, going shopping, listening to music, watching tv and movies...of course that's all in my spare time when I'm not busy with school and teaching! This year I will be working in a third grade classroom at a school in Holt, which I am ecstatic about!! I start this Tuesday and couldn't be happier! I have worked with younger kids, like kindergarten and first grade so this should be a good change and also a challenge.

I look forward to reading most of the books in this class. The list seems pretty interesting and it definitely has diversity which I love.
