Allyson Berger
My name is Allyson Berger and I'm a senior at Saint Michael's College serving my student teaching semester at Champlain Elementary! In the spring, I will graduate with a double major in Elementary Education and English Literature. I am very excited to work with Jane, Rebecca, and your children in the coming months, especially in my desired field of teaching literacy to elementary school students. I am originally from a small town in Connecticut, where I grew up in a big family. In my free time, I enjoy reading, writing, cooking, and trying to learn how to ski! Last year, I was lucky enough to spend a semester in Kolkata, India, where I volunteered in a first-grade classroom and helped teach English to eighth- and ninth-grade students, while attending classes and learning about the Indian culture. I hope to bring the skills I gained from this experience and many other volunteer opportunities in schools to your children's classroom, and I'm looking forward to getting to know your children in the next few months!
