About Me.....

My name is Margaret Horst but I go by Maggie most of the time. I'm going to be an elementary teacher and would like to teach in the Kindergarten or first grade range but will gladly take what I can get! Right now I am a Junior at University of South Alabama and will be a senior starting Spring 2010. Kids are such an important part of society and it is important to get kids educated and have fun with it and that is what I plan on doing.

Invovling the Parents

Having parental involvement in the classroom is a really good positive reinforcement key in having a child participate in the classroom. When one, or both, parent shows an interest in the classroom, or class activities, then their child show more excitement in their class and their classroom. My parents were a little involved with the classroom and I really honestly feel that was a little downfall to my education.

Having the parents involved in the classroom, not only gets the child more enthused about learning, but it also gets the parents involved and knows what the child is doing in the classroom.
