Meet the Teacher Linky

 

Well, now that my blogging is in full swing, I figured I should probably share who I am with many of you that have not met me.

My name is Keisha McHargue and I have taught middle school for 5 years. I have taught in several districts in the Nebraska, Iowa, and Kansas area. I am currently working on my Ed.D through Liberty University in Curriculum and Instruction.  I am also a 5th grade intern for Whole Brain Teaching this year.  My goal would be to present throughout the country on Whole Brain Teaching strategies.

Anyway, this year I am starting at a new district in Iowa and am excited to get my students engaged in learning science!

THESE ARE A FEW OF MY FAVORITE THINGS...
Favorite things include Hershey's chocolate bars and Sharpie colored flair pens. I absolutely love Eileen's sugar cookies (I know the company isn't everywhere, but if you come to Nebraska you have to get them!).

IF YOU WEREN'T A TEACHER, WHAT WOULD YOU WANT TO BE?
If I wasn't a teacher, I would want to be a pharmacist.  Don't ask me why, but I always contemplated it.  I guess it ties into my love for science, but I definitely wouldn't be as good of pharmacist as I am teacher, so I'm definitely where I am supposed to be!

THREE WORDS THAT DESCRIBE YOU...
Ambitious, Upbeat, Compassionate

FINISH THE SENTENCE, "________________, SAID NO TEACHER EVER!!"
"You are right, teaching is so easy."

IT'S YOUR BIRTHDAY AND YOU CAN INVITE ANYONE {DEAD OR ALIVE} TO THE PARTY WHO ARE YOU INVITING?
Hmm, I don't really become fascinated with famous people.  I'd probably just invite my current friend and family.  I know that is a lame answer.
