Meet the New Teachers
______________________________________
Ms. Shatara
My name is Freda Shatara and I am eager to announce that I
will be your child’s new teacher this semester. I have recently graduated from
the University of Michigan – Dearborn with a Bachelor’s Degree in Education with
focuses in Early Childhood Education and Mathematics. Although this is my first
time being your child’s teacher, this will be my 5th year as staff at this
center. I have been a teacher’s assistant in a few of the classrooms and
co-taught with Mrs. Petee last spring.
Outside of the classroom, I live a very active lifestyle. I
love being outdoors, going to the gym and spending time with my family. My favorite thing to
do is travel. I have visited over 10 countries and plan on continuing my
adventures this summer in Turkey. I also make frequent trips
back to my home state of California.
I have had many experiences teaching with different age
groups and I am excited to begin my journey with you and your
children. I am sure they will be teaching me just as much as
I am teaching them. If you have any questions or concerns, please, do not
hesitate to email myself (fshatara@umich.edu) or Mrs. Stone at any time.
Ms. Goodwin
My name is Kayla Goodwin I am in the Children and Families
program a Michigan Dearborn. I will be an intern this semester in your child’s
classroom. I will be in the class on Mondays and Wednesdays. This is currently
my last semester in the program. I currently live in Allen Park. In the past I
have babysat for multiple families that had children from the age of six months
to about ten years old. I have worked summer camps for my city were I
interacted and watched children from three years old up to thirteen. I have a
lot of experience working with all different types of children and I truly
enjoy working with them. I hope to learn more about your children this
semester. I was in this class last semester so it has been really remarkable
watching the children grow. I hope to help them continue to find new ways to
develop and discover new things. I look forward to seeing you all and working
with your children.
Ms. Eid
My name is Manal Eid and I am a Children and Families major
at the University of Michigan. This will
be my last semester and I will be completing my internship in your child’s
classroom for the next fifteen weeks. My
schedule will be Mondays to Thursdays from 8:00 am-12:00 pm. I am very excited to begin working in Mrs.
Stone and Ms. Shatara’s classroom and I look forward to learning from both of
them. I am also very eager to get to
know, work with, and learn from you and your child.
While in
college, I worked as a teacher assistant in first and second grade classrooms with
Dearborn Charter Schools. I am especially interested in teaching preschool,
which makes this internship a wonderful experience for me.
As part of
my internship, I will gradually begin teaching your child under the supervision
of both teachers. I will assist with
lesson planning and daily activities and end the semester by taking over
curriculum planning independently. This
internship is designed to increase my role in stages.
I would
like to share that I am a proud mother of a ten-year-old girl. I assure you that I am a very dedicated and
motivated person, and I will present myself with professionalism and caring
behavior at all times. I realize that
every child in this class is equally and individually special and I will treat
each student with the utmost respect.
Please let
me know if there is anything I can do to better help your child, you can
contact me at mneid@umich.edu if you have
any questions or concerns.
