- A. Hello! I am Sarah Cline(Pryor-maiden name). I did my undergrad. at FSU and graduated in May 2011 (Elem Ed and Math 5-9). Within a month of graduating, I got married, moved to Lewisburg, WV (due to my husband's job), bought a house, and got my first teaching job (7th Grade Math- Summers Middle School- a 45 minute commute). My second year of teaching I lucked out and got a job 5 minutes from my house and will probably be in this position for a while:) (8th Grade Math - Eastern Greenbrier Middle School). I will be finished with my Master's at the end of the summer. Looking forward to this class and looking forward to having a Master's at the end of July!
- Other side info about me: I am a Zumba Instructor. I love the outdoors; hiking, kayaking, camping, skiing, etc. I will be very busy this summer teaching summer school 3 days a week, instructing zumba, taking vacation on my off weeks, and doing the outdoor activities I previously mentioned (minus the skiing, of course, but I already have my season pass for Snowshoe this winter!). I love teaching middle school math (Strange, I know, but would prefer it over kindergarten any day).
- I hope that this class enables to grow professionally.
- You tube video:
This is a student-made video made video that causes viewers to realize/remember that literacy goes far beyond, "How well you can read and understand a book/passage" Being literate in the 21st century might mean expand your idea of literacy itself.
- Comic about Literacy Uses of Today:
Even my 75-yr-old grandma tries to "facebook," but like many in her generation, she is confused by its purpose and how to use it. This made me think of the confusion that my grandma often when trying to "understand facebook:"

We have the same taste when it comes to choosing backgrounds. :)
ReplyDeleteLove your comic! I can totally see my grandma saying this!
ReplyDeleteHa! That comic made me laugh out loud (LOL!?!).
ReplyDeleteHello! I LOVE that you are middle school math! I graduated this past December with the same degrees. I have a sixth grade mathematics position waiting for me in the fall! People think we are crazy for middle school - let alone math! However, I agree with this over kindergarten anyday!
ReplyDeleteI love your comic! I showed my grandfather Google Earth before and zoomed in to show him his house...it blew his mind! He had a very similar reaction to your comic.
ReplyDeleteHey sarah! I apparently have two classes with you this semester. I didn't know that you teach Zumba. I love to dance. It's one of my favorite passions in life. I think it's funny that your grandma tries to Facebook. My grandma doesn't even know how to use the Internet.
ReplyDeleteI visited Lewisburg a few weeks ago! LOVED IT!
ReplyDeleteMy parents have nothing to do with social media. Unless they're wanting me to catch them up on the latest talk around town. My dad refers to facebook as "The Face". As in, "Don't put that on The Face." or "Have you seen anything on The Face?".
ReplyDeletePS-Are you close enough to enjoy the Greenbrier Classic or do you avoid it at all costs?
