Hello!

I teach W History and Economics and looking forward to meet everyone!

I loved loved Born a Crime.  One of our English teachers is currenlty reading this too and she can't put the book down!  She takes it everywhere with her.  Essentials of Assessing, Preventing, and Overcoming Reading Difficulties by David A. Kilpatrick sounds like a useful resource.  I'm looking for ways to reach out to our reluctant readers.  I might just check out that book.  Thanks!

Hi everyone, 

My name is Breana. This is my third year of teaching. I teach kindergarten at Point Fermin Elementary School in San Pedro and am completely loving it. 

In 7th grade I had a wonderul world history teacher who taught about East Asain history, culture, and religion which sparked my interest in world history and cultures. In college I took courses on East Asian religion and US/ Japan history/ relations, and enjoyed these courses very much. I am hoping to further my knowledge and learning, and enjoy the process along the way.

Hi! My name is Katherine Venturoso and I teach fifth grade at Hoover in Whittier City school district.  I am excited to be in this forum to incorporate literature and art from East Asia into my curriculum. We are a Fine arts school and I want to increase my knowledge to diversify my teaching and my strategies.

Hi Rey!

I guess we are the only two educator that teach special education and more specifically - we teach moderate to severe eduaction.  I look forward to brainstorming with you on how you make content comprehensible to our population.  One suggetion that I could have with you about teaching East Asia content is by crafting lessons using the senses- music, food (taste and smell), chinese dance (kinesthetics), and visual pictures of landscape, people and society.  So many facinating ways to teach this content.  Let's discuss!
