Mrs. Shaffer, 7th Grade Core Teacher Dear Parents, Guardians, and Students,I excited to be teaching 7th grade core at Walnut Creek Intermediate (WCI). This is my sixth year teaching at WCI; I also attended WCI when I was in middle school. Since a very young age I wanted to be a teacher, and I am grateful to be teaching at such a wonderful school. I attended Biola University in Los Angeles, where I received a Bachelor of Arts in Liberal Studies and achieved my Teaching Credential.For Englsih, I teach reading and writing in a workshop format, with the goal that students gain strategies that help them feel more confident in their reading and writing. For Social Studies, my hope is that through a guided inquiry process my students can see "big picture" ideas in the civilizations we study.I want all of my students to have a meaningful and successful experience in my class. I aim to bring a positive and encouraging attitude into the classroom each day!
I'm looking forward to working with and getting to know you all. I know this will be another great year at WCI!
