5th Grade Science easy as 1, 2, 3...

My name is Aerin Bentley and I am so happy to be the fifth grade science teacher at GREEN ELEMENTARY!!! This is my eleventh year teaching, and my ninth at GREEN. I have a B.A. in ART and an M.A.T. in Elementary Education. I received both degrees at Austin College, in Sherman, Texas. I currently hold certification in 1st-8th grade as well as in Special Education. I am current with all of my training in Gifted and Talented. In my spare time, I enjoy going to the movies, trying to keep plants alive, entertaining my cat, Hollywood, spending time with friends, family, especially my new husband, Alex! I believe that learning can be fun--we have so much energy flowing through our room. As you walk into our classroom you can just tell that something great is going on; you can sense learning. I am a facilitator of learning and I love it! Seeing their eyes widen and the lightbulbs going on is my reward. My classroom is student centered. All activities are designed to benefit them and their learning needs. When we learn things in school it is important to see the connections to the "real world." We have such a diverse exchange of personalities and experiences. We help each other make those connections. I see every child as an individual and appreciate their own unique learning styles. Coming to school each day isn't hard when you're surrounded with such amazing people. Can you tell I love my awesome fifth graders??? EVERY CHILD SHOULD: *feel confident *be successful *take pride in work and achievements *be compassionate *finish what they start *have fun learning E-Mail me at... aerin_bentley@allenisd.org last updated: June 2008
