ME

My name is Amber Showalter. I am 32 years old and a mother of one beautiful daughter. She is four years old and full of life! I live in the lovely town of Shenandoah, VA. I am getting married this summer to a great guy named Ken. I was a commuter student to JMU. I graduated from there in 1998 with a BA in Social Science. The ODU campus that I attend is Blue Ridge Community College. I am currently employed by my family business as the General Manager. It is my dream to teach elementary aged children.

MY TEACHING PHILOSOPHY

I am a creative Mom who infuses art, music, nature, dance, and crafts into my child's every day life. My teaching philosophy is the same. I believe the teacher is not only in a classroom to pass on knowledge; they are also guides for creativity. I believe a creative learning style in the classroom helps children to view school as a source of fun. Learning should be fun, exciting, and adventurous.


This was a very fun day!! Elise's class took a field trip to the local Fire Dept.
