Hello! My name is Bobbi Johns. I am a 1st grade teacher at Georgetown Elementary in Indian Prairie School District 204 where we are 1:1. This is currently my 3rd year teaching. My first year teaching was in 3rd grade, but I have been teaching 1st for the past two years. This is such an exciting age to teach because they are getting exposed to so much their little brains are hungry for knowledge. Along with teaching my 1st grade kiddos, I am also the freshman girls volleyball coach at Neuqua Valley High School. That was an adjustment at the beginning of the school year; being at a new school this year and then having to run over to the high school for practices and games. However, it was great being able to continue my love of coaching while teaching. I also coach a travel AAU girls high school basketball team (which is my true love).
I am currently in two classes: Multimedia Tools in Education and Effective Technology Integration into Lessons and Curriculum, and previously just completed three classes. These are my first few classes towards my masters of Education Technology, in which I am very excited to pursue! Technology is playing such a big factor in our educational society nowadays, so I want to stay up to date on the latest trends. Even though I try to incorporate technology to give my students their best learning experience, such as in math, reviewing sight words, word study, and ELA, I am hoping that throughout this journey I will learn more creative and meaningful ways to implement technology into our everyday routine.
I know, I know, we are all pretty busy and sometimes school gets crazy! However, I do try to enjoy things outside of school, as I am sure you all do as well! I enjoy playing many sports (especially basketball), I love working out, running and riding my bike, spending time with my friends, going to the movies, going to my students events outside of the classroom (since I do not have kids of my own yet), and most importantly, I love seeing my family! I have four sisters and one adorable nephew, so I love getting to spend time with them as much as possible!
