Teacher Tuesday

Each Tuesday on the blog we will feature a different Valley View teacher and get to know them a little better.  This Tuesday, it's Mrs. Muir.  She teaches a.m. Kindergarten and is awesome!  Here's a few things you may not have known about her:

Favorite Food:  Italian.  I like the Olive Garden but my favorite is The Chaz pasta dish from the Pizza Factory.

Favorite Movie:  Romantic comedies or dramas.  A couple of favorites are Pride and Prejudice and Freedom Writers.

Favorite Vacation Spot:  Anywhere I can go snorkeling.  A couple of favorite spots include Hawaii and Cabo.

What do you love most about Valley View:  I love how we have such a friendly, cooperative work environment.  All of the teachers work together as a team and we all seem to be on the same page.

Where are you from originally:  Springville.

What grades have you taught:  I have taught 2nd and 3rd grade before I had kids.  Then we moved to Nebraska and I taught Adult Basic Ed, Community Ed and at an Alternative High School.  I have also taught preschool, so I have literally had students in age from 3 to 65!

Favorite Holiday: Christmas.
Pets:  Josie the Beagle.  She does alot of tricks!
Favorite book:  Historical Fiction.  The Scarlet Pimpernel is a favorite.
What music is on your ipod right now?  Everything!  From Colibe Caillat to country.

Favorite teaching experience:  Teaching kids how to read.  I love to teach reading and see the light that comes on when a student finally understands. I have taught children and adults how to read and it is so rewarding to see their excitement when it clicks.
