All about 'Ms. Roehl'
Hello and WELCOME TO MY CAPSTONE PORTFOLIO!
My name is Michelle Roehl and I am a teacher as well as a learner! I am currently in my fourth year of teaching and my last semester of the Michigan State Masters in Education Program. This year I am teaching preschool for the first time in my career. In the past I have taught 2nd and 5th grade, each a rewarding and exciting learning year. I have spent my four years teaching at Robbie Hall Parker Elementary in Clinton Township, Michigan and am proud to call it my home. I have made some wonderful friends in my collegues and have formed bonds with the hundreds of children who pass through the halls everyday! Learning and teaching go hand in hand and I am always excited to learn new things and bring a fresh spin into my classroom daily. While changing grades year to year has been quite challenging at times, I consider myself blessed to have had many different teaching experiences on my teaching journey. Learning new
curriculums and experiencing first hand the continuum of an Elementry
School has been beneficial as well as educational. Michigan State
Univeristy was my home for many years and I am proud to be earning
my Master's degree through the elite University. I have a great respect for
MSU, and especially so, in their education programs. As I continue to learn
and work throughout the many years ahead of me, I will always look
back to MSU with great gratitude and love for all the university has done
for me.
When I am not teaching, I am spending time with family and friends. I am a bit of a homebody and enjoy relaxing, family dinners and playing cards with my Grandma! I have an awesome dog named Forest, and he keeps me entertained on a daily basis! Coming from an Italian background, my family is a great support system in my life and I feel they have given the confidence and drive to be the teacher I am today.
