Philosophy of Education: "Another thing that I could do is to seek out resources and materials that offer creative lesson plans and new ideas that I could use in my future classroom. By doing this I will help to enhance the creativity of myself and my future students."

Hello to everyone who visits this site. My name Emily, and I am currently a student at Illinois State University. I am working on finishing my Bachelor's Degree in Science. My major is Elementary Education. I am very excited to become a teacher, and I hope this wikispace has helped to give you new information and activity ideas about the country of Japan.
