Dear Parents,

I was born in Houston, TX and raised in Breckenridge, CO. Growing up in

the mountains has really shaped who I am as a person. I enjoy being
outside and I love hiking, camping, and skiing. One of my first jobs was at
a summer camp, where I first found my passion for working with
children.

I am a senior studying Early Childhood Education at CSU. My experiences

working at a summer camp and now at a preschool have confirmed my
decision to pursue elementary education in order to continue working
with children. This semester I am thrilled to be a part of Erin Sullivan’s
third grade classroom.

As a practicum student at Shepardson Elementary it is my role to be a

learner, collaborator, and leader facilitating student success. Throughout
the semester I will design and implement developmentally appropriate
curriculum through lessons, as well as observe and co-teach lessons by
other practicum students in the room. My goal is to establish and
practice skills necessary for creating a meaningful, interactive, and
enriching environment for children in the K-3 setting.

My teaching philosophy is founded in the idea that children are

competent and capable learners that are actively evolved in their
construction of knowledge. I value the idea that each child learns
differently and it is important that teachers value each modality through
which people learn within their classroom. I look forward to getting to
know and work with each child that make up Ms. Sullivan’s classroom!

Sincerely,

Charlotte Fowler
