Introduction

  Hello!  My name is Heidi McGree and I am from Butte, Montana.  I am currently student teaching in Helena, Montana. Right now I am in a first-grade classroom and absolutely love it! I have had many wonderful opportunities to interact with children through the MSU teaching program.  I was able to become a START volunteer where I was given the chance to read with a second grader three times a week and I also taught computers to the students at Whittier Elementary School.  I also spent most of my senior year being a Para in K-8 grade classrooms. Not only have I taught elementary students, I have refereed junior high volleyball and have substituted in the junior high school. All of these experiences have given me insight on the best teaching styles and lesson plans to use while in the classroom.
 

Philosophy
  The type of teaching I plan on using in my future classroom is authoritative.  An authoritative teacher is one who will establish limits and explain the reasons for these certain restrictions.  These type of teachers encourage students to set goals for themselves.  One of my own goals is to become a teacher who is kind, patient, and understanding.
