Meet the teacher!
First and foremost all of my credentials including a copy of my diplomas as well as the results of my background check can be found through a simple request to the principle of the Elementary school- we understand that as a parent the care and safety for you child come before all else!
My name is Rebecca Lynn Shannon and I’ve been a first grade teacher here at St. Petersburg Elementary for about five years now, I graduated from Clearwater high school here in Florida (Go tornadoes!) and I began college through the early college program they offered there during my sophomore year. I majored in special needs children with a minor in art. I interned in two Elementary schools in the Pinellas county area as well as the surrounding districts, not including a Montessori school. I believe that all students deserve to have a sort of creative outlet and I try on a daily basis to give them the opportunity to have free time to let out their stresses of the day through allowing them the choice of what they want to do involving the supplies I provide in the classrooms: Paints, acrylic crayons, indoor safe foam balls, books ect. When off the clock I spend my time with my precious dog Sammy (He’s a wiener dog!) either outside gardening or on the couch knitting, although when I’m out of the home I like to spend my time ice skating and catching up with new information on teaching in the classroom and newly recommended courses passed down to me by the administration as well taking the stray extra class at the nearby St. Petersburg College. If you require more information I'll be happy to give it to you through either a planned meeting, through the phone or by e-mail. |
