Introducing Ms. Stone...

Hello! My name is Ms. Stone and I attended Arizona State University on a full ride academic scholarship where I received a Bachelor's of Art in Human Communication. No, this does not mean I am the best communicator. It is a life-long learning process as we all will come to realize. Before college, I attended St. Mary's Catholic Preparatory High School in Phoenix, AZ. I went to Earl Warren Junior High in Solana Beach, CA and Skyline Elementary across the street (in CA). I have always loved school and did very well in my classes. 


Recently, I graduated from California State University San Marcos with a multiple subject credential and a single subject credential in math. This means I can teach k-6th and math up to pre-calculus! I am now on the hunt for a job and couldn't be more excited to have my own classroom.


My philosophy on teaching is that students do not care how much you know until they know how much you care. This is an umbrella philosophy that covers many aspects of a classroom. In Ms. Stone's class, students know I care deeply about them. I strive to make my classroom a safe environment where everyone feels included, valued and important. This is done by greeting each student with a smile and handshake at the door, creating class jobs, knowing about each student and including their interests in lessons, providing constant feedback on all work, creating rigorous yet engaging activities, and pushing each student to succeed because I know they can. To learn about my specific classroom polices, you may do so my viewing the correlating tab. 


In this ever changing society we live in, technology is one sure thing we know that will continue to evolve. Technology is important in my classroom which is why I have decided to continue with this blog. 


Oh and please enjoy and send me an email if you know of any jobs in the Orange County or Los Angeles area! :)
