About Me
Hello!
My name is Heather Porch. Thank you for taking the time to get to know me.
I currently live in Concord, California. I was born in Walnut Creek and lived in Danville until the age of 3. During this time my father worked at the Livermore National Laboratory but decided to transfer to the Los Alamos National Laboratory in New Mexico, and that is where I grew up. After high school I moved out to California and lived with my grandmother in San Ramon and attended Diablo Valley College. I received my associates degree there and then transferred to Saint Mary's College of California in Moraga. From SMC I have earned my Bachelors degree, my multiple subject teaching credential, and very soon my Masters.
I have worked with children since I was a Freshman in high school. During that time I worked mostly with young infants. I read stories, set up activities, and fixed ouches. I remember just loving it! When I moved to California I got a part time job working at an after school program. I planned fun arts and crafts lessons and was able to work with children ranging from kindergarten to fifth grade. It was a great starting point for me because I learned a great deal about managing large groups of children and got experience managing all types of behavior. When I was getting my teaching credential from SMC I was given the tools to be able to grow into a well rounded teacher.
I have always wanted to be a kindergarten teacher and that's definitely where my heart is. I was lucky enough to have been given the opportunity to work as a teacher assistant in a kindergarten classroom with a fantastic teacher in a great community that is Orinda, California. I really have just loved my experience working there and I can't wait to have a kindergarten class of my own!
My blog is going to be a place to keep my lessons, share ideas, and to help others! I believe in SHARING and helping others out so they can be the best they can be!!
