Hello to any and all future students. I am Bryana, but I just go by Bry. (Or Ms. Bry/B to you.) I am currently 25 years old and in my junior year at CSUN. I enjoy reading and anything to do with nature like hiking, camping, beach days, etc.
I have been lucky enough to be part of a time where technology is so useful and easily accessible. I do believe the generation of kids I would be potentially teaching could gain a lot more experience and feel more comfortable with using technology in a school setting. However, I would love the opportunity and freedom to incorporate a nature based learning environment for my students. Whether I start out small by teaching lessons on picnic blankets under shady trees, or involve more outdoor activities for my students, I believe this approach would benefit future students.
A few sample experiments I would love to try would be arranging a time and space outside for students to read or work on homework outside. Maybe starting a small garden and planting various herbs, fruits, and vegetables of the seasons and teaching students how to incorporate such crops into their daily diets. We can actively recycle, compost and spread the word of its importance. I would love to hatch butterflies with my students every year.
Overall, incorporating small actions to help the environment, and making time for breaks outside of a stuffy classroom and off our phones/laptops are great examples I actively want to embrace in my teaching career.
