Welcome to my Early Childhood Studies Blog

          My name is Christina.  Allow me to introduce myself.  I attended Walla Walla University in 2001 starting out with an Elementary Education major with minors in History and Music.  During my program I was given an opportunity to tutor a couple of 1st and 2nd graders in reading.  I also had to tutor students in math for a different class.  In 2006 I did my student teaching in the 4th grade but was unfortunately unable to finish it a month before I was done.  I changed my major to History and graduated in 2007 with a B.A degree.  It took me four years to decide to go back and actually finish my student teaching again.  I made the decision to go back and do it in 2010, this time student teaching in the 1st and 2nd grade at a different school all together that is in the Seventh-day Adventist school system.  After I finished student teaching I was able to substitute in the Adventist system without a teaching license.  I have substitute taught in Kindergarten, 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th, 6th, 7th and 8th grades.  I graduated in 2011 with Elementary Education and subbed up until the time that I got married in Nov of 2012.
