ALL ABOUT MRS. FAIRCHILD
My name is Shawna Fairchild and I will be your child's teacher this year. I wanted to take this opportunity to introduce myself and tell you about my past experience and goals for this year.
 
I am originally from Minnesota and moved to Wisconsin for my undergraduate college experience. I graduated from the University of Wisconsin-Madison with a degree in Elementary Education Preschool - Grade 3.  I recently received my Masters in Education with a Reading Endorsement from Kent State.  My concentration on early childhood education is based on my love for young children and my belief that early childhood education shapes the rest of a child's educational goals and accomplishments. 
 
My teaching experience includes:
1 year of teaching Preschool at Head Start in Madison, Wisconsin,
3 years of teaching first grade at The Edge Academy in Akron, Ohio and
3 years of teaching kindergarten at James A. Garfield Elementary.
 
I truly cannot wait to begin another year of teaching Kindergarten. I am at a perfect point in my career where I am excited and motivated to give your children the best education possible.
 
My goals for your children are not only to expose them to the Ohio Academic Standards but to instill a love of learning from a very young age. I aim to challenge your child, provide support and make education FUN!
 
I am looking forward to a wonderful year and hope to work as a team with you and your child to make this year successful both academically and socially.  Please feel free to contact me with any concerns, questions, or comments. 
 
Thanks for the opportunity to teach your children,
Mrs. Fairchild

 



My Mission Statement

My mission is to instill a love of learning by providing a positive learning experience in which each child can explore, learn through play and be successful. I will provide a safe classroom full of acceptance and an appreciation for individual differences.  My goal is to reach each child on a personal level and help them achieve his/her full potential both academically and socially. I believe strongly in working as a  3-way team with each child, you the parent and myself in order to provide the best education possible for your child.
