About me
Now that I've told you about my site, let me tell you about me!
My name is Donna and I completed my 4th and final year of my Bachelor of Primary Education last year (2014) at Monash Uni, Gippsland so now I am a fresh faced, ready to tackle the education world graduate! I live out in a country of Victoria but in a large town of Newborough within the Latrobe Valley with my 5 year old daughter and her step-dad. I have been within schools as small as 200 students to 500 students with class sizes ranging from 18 to 29! I have also had the amazing experience of teaching ESL in Hong Kong for a month in my 3rd of my course within a school of 1500 students! I was told I was lucky for teaching the two smaller classes of 29 and 30 students within the school in a classroom that is several stories high and still had a blackboard than a whiteboard (let alone an interactive whiteboard!). Please feel free to email me with any questions/suggestions about the literacy sessions on this site and I hope you enjoy :)
