Mrs. AvinaHello and welcome to
Mrs. Avina's Biology Class. First about myself, I am the mother of two daughters who are currently in their first and second year of college. I have been married for over twenty years to a wonderful man who is dedicated to lovingly support our family while we are all continuing our education. I have enjoyed working as an x-ray technologist for more than twenty years and feel fortunate to now be able to pursue my life long dream of becoming a Biology teacher. This semester we will be exploring the Body Systems and how they function and interact with our environment. We will start by studying the structure and function of the Immunization system. While we learn about immunization, we will also explore how the Native American tribes were affected by the the rapid spread of disease during the period of American colonization. At the end of the year our students will create posters about diseases, their transmission and prevention. By exploring the how the Native American people were affected by these diseases during the period of colonization we will become more culturally aware about our fellow Native American tribes that reside here in our Temecula Valley. | Mr. EagletonThe intent is for this site to become a place that I can reach out to and interact with the education community beyond my limited personal location. Beyond this, I would like to be able to integrate, if not this blog, a separate blog into my everyday classroom teaching. It is my belief that as teachers we need to be able to keep up with our students and right now our students are on the cutting edge of technology usage. We need to integrate this technology into the classroom daily as a means of making not only the information relevant but also the method of delivery. I hope the tools and skills from this course will help me do this in an effective manner. | Ms. Sadeghipour
I am committed to a positive learning environment that advocates diversity, understanding, and acceptance. Where ignorance and misunderstanding exist, I see a challenging teaching opportunity. Only through learning are we able to better ourselves and only through understanding can we progress forward.My degree is in Teaching English with an emphasis in ESL and essay composition. Because I received my degree in Teaching English, many believe that I had an inherent ability to be amazing in English. This was not the case. I did not have the ability to speak or even write anything in the English language until fifth grade and continued to struggle throughout middle school even into high school. School was a challenge for me but challenges are no match for an individual who refuses to give up. My hard work allowed me to graduate high school and continue on to a four year university, but I have never forgotten all those long hours. Those hours have only fueled my desire to teach. | Ms. SorbenI have a B.A. in Comparative Literature and Writing, so it goes without saying that I LOVE TO READ! My favorites tend to be the American classics such as: The Great Gatsby, The Sound and the Fury, Great Expectations, Wuthering Heights etc. Teaching has always been a passion of mine. I knew I wanted to be a teacher just like my mothers by the time I was 3 years old. I have since then made it my #1 goal in life, especially after my mother was diagnosed with Lupus in 1999. I plan to continue her legacy as an incredible educator and someone who changes lives. I've spent my life volunteering in various classrooms, coaching gymnastic, competitive cheerleading, and high school cheer. I am also a nanny to 3 incredible kids so it goes without saying that I love kids, I love students and I love teaching! |
