Teacher Spotlight – Ms. Beck
Welcome to the 5th Grade
I think sharks are fascinating!!! Right now my top three sharks are: Epaulette (can walk on its fins in tide pools and hunt while holding its breath for up to 40-ish minutes). Wobbegong (has the frilliest face I have ever seen – so cool!), and the Puff Adder Shy Shark (it curls up like a cat and glows in the dark under a black light – awesome sauce!!) I look forward to Shark Week every July and totally nerd out right before school starts up again 🙂
Favorite Subject
I really like math, messy science, and reading.
Favorite Book
Just one??? Too hard 😉 One of my favorite authors is Lisa Scottoline though.
Fun Facts
I have two cats, Phoenix and Bella. I would much rather plan a math lesson than try to plan a party (parties are sooooo not in my skill set – lol!!), and the students in my classes are absolutely positively certainly the awesomest part of my job each day!!!
Hidden Talent
I like to help people when I can, I also like to cheer people up and sometimes plan surprises for them.
