2.  The town in which you live.

3.  Your major.

4.  Your year in school.

5.  Some information about yourself that makes you unique or interesting (everyone is ... doesn't have to be anything spectacular ... i.e., I like reading for pleasure, flowers, spending time with my family. I really enjoy traveling and have spent extended periods of time in Greece and England). 

6.  Any experience you have had teaching or working with children/young adults.

7.  Any family information (you can read mine on the Welcome web page). 

8.  Include a digital photo if you have one ... or send me a regular picture and I will digitize it for you and send it to you via email. 

In case you missed my photo elsewhere on my websites, here I am: 

9.  You may include links to your favorite Internet sites at the bottom of the page ... those are always fun. 

10.  Please include the above information in paragraph form ... it will read as though you were just orally telling us about yourself.

NOTE:  This information is in a "closed" environment ... it is not on the Internet for anyone outside our class to read.  This exercise takes the place of going around the room and introducing ourselves as in a traditional class meeting.
