First of all, I would like to thank you for taking time out
of your busy and hectic schedule to stop by and look at my blog! My name is
Kelsey Kearns and I am a middle school Special Education teacher at Benton
Community. I am currently in my fifth year of teaching at Benton. Prior to
teaching at Benton, I was a substitute teacher for one year.
I myself am a graduate of Benton Community; once a Bobcat,
always a Bobcat! After graduating from Benton, I attended Hamilton College in
Cedar Rapids and received my Associates degree in Accounting. It wasn’t until I
was almost done at Hamilton that I realized I didn’t want to be stuck behind a
desk all day crunching numbers into a calculator. I had a tough decision to
make. Did I want to be doing a job that I didn’t like? My decision was NO!!!
After graduating from Hamilton I enrolled at Kirkwood
Community College for a year to take some classes that would transfer over to
Mount Mercy University. While at Mount Mercy University I majored in Elementary
Education. I graduated from Mount Mercy University with a Bachelor’s Degree in
K-6 Elementary Education. I also have endorsements in K-8 Reading, K-8 Instructional
Strategist I: Mild/Moderate, and K-8 Language Arts.
Needless to say, this was by far one of the best decisions
that I could have made! There isn’t a day where I am in the classroom asking
myself why I became a teacher! I love being able to help students reach their
goals in and out of the classroom! There’s nothing more rewarding than seeing
that light bulb go off after a student has been struggling on something for a
while.
In my free time I enjoy cheering on the Iowa
Hawkeye, Chicago Cubs, and Pittsburgh Steelers! Some of my other hobbies
include going to Bobcat sporting events, reading, fishing, spending time with
family and friends.
If you have any other questions, please feel free to ask!
I hope you all find this blog informational and enjoyable!
Have a great day and GO BOBCATS!!!!!
