A Little About Your Child's Teacher... |
I have been teaching for Council Rock for several years & have gone through this system as a student as well:) I have great pride in our district and have taught mainly 3rd and 4th grade with a year in Kindergarten. I double-majored at Rider University in Elementary Education and Psychology. I've received my Master's in Counseling and often apply many character education techniques I have learned in the classroom to make student interactions as positive as possible. I volunteer on the Green Team for our district representing Holland Elementary, Compose Holland Elementary's Green Link Website, Humane Education Website and help coordinate district recycling. I am also currently helping to strengthen our Kindergarten through 4th-grade Humane Education Program with help from our science animal studies class!
Personally, I have volunteered thousands of hours for local animal shelters, rescues, & an Education Committee, so when I am not grading papers & creating lessons, you can often find me cat cuddling my two (former HES dumpster diver) cats and a disabled lop-eared bunny, named Lil' Lop, since some of my rescues/fosters decide not to leave:), & I volunteer more during the summer for Rescue Animal Placements (R.A.P.) mainly transporting homeless pets to safety.
The things I love most about children are their open minds and willingness to help make the world a better place for all who inhabit it. My main concern is always their safety first and that they continue to enjoy learning and the enriching environment around them-We can learn anything from there. I especially love teaching children writing and Environmental and Ecology Standards through which I have had many workshops to assist me in implementing these through the Sciences and Language Arts. Please do not hesitate to stay in touch with me via email or phone as I truly feel when we work together your child will benefit most. I strive to make their strengths stronger and their weaknesses weaker. Thank you for your time. Kindly, Karen Wolverton
