Who am I?

Hello! I'm Joanne Gilbert and this semester I'm student teaching 5th grade at Allen Elementary in Plymouth, MI. My cooperating teacher is Gail Maloney. I'm very excited to have finally made it to student teaching, and so far it has been fun and rewarding. I attend the University of Michigan Dearborn, and even though I'm student teaching now, I won't graduate until after next semester because I will go back and take classes for another semester to take my minor of social studies up to another major. My major that I have already completed is in math.

I have worked with children for many years. It started my sophomore year in high school when I took preschool. Since then I have worked in three child-care centers. The last center I worked in was Tutor Time in Plymouth, where I first was lead teacher in the 2 1/2 year old room for 2 1/2 years, and then this last summer I "graduated" to be the lead in the 3 year old room.

If you have ever talked with me, you will have noticed an accent. This is because I am from England. I lived in England until I was almost 11. My extended family is all still in England, it was just my parents, brother, and I who moved here. I am very close with my parents, and still live at home. My brother Paul, who is 15 months younger, lives in Mt. Pleasant with his wife and critters (which includes a new puppy and 2 guinea pigs, along with fish and turtles).
