Hello! My name is Rachael Payne and I am a student in the Thursday night class of technology in the classroom. I am originally from Jamestown, NY and attended Keuka College for my undergrad degree in Elementary and Special Education and American Sign Language. This is my second year teaching 4th and 5th grade Special Education at Palmyra Elementary School. I love my colleagues and my kidos! As well as teaching, I am in involved in many other things. I serve on the advisory board for Keuka. I am also involved in NAC, a theater group in Wayne, NY. We just finished the production of Hello Dolly! and are anticipating beginning practice for next year's show. I am the oldest in my family, so I enjoy spending time with my younger siblings, and my beautiful niece. I have two brothers and a sister. My brother and his wife reside in Hornell, NY with their 8 month old daughter, Julia Rose. My other brother is in the military and has recently returned to Jamestown after being on active duty. My little sister still lives at home and works as a home-health aid for mentally retarded adults. This is my fourth class for my master's. Previously, I have taken Teaching Science in the El. Classroom, Teaching the Gifted, and am currently taking Classroom Management. When I finish my master's I plan on taking a few years off, then I would like to go on to obtain my doctorate. This is the plan for now at least! :) ------------------------------------------------------------ Class website: http://www.greece.k12.ny.us/taylor/suny/ ------------------------------------------------------------ To unsubscribe from this listserv, go to: //www.freelists.org/cgi-bin/list?list_id=edi581 If you have any problems, send an e-mail to: JerryTaylr@xxxxxxx ------------------------------------------------------------
