Elise Roberts is in the Spotlight!
Both of Elise's parents are remarried, so she has two older step-sisters and two younger step-brothers. She is an only child biologically. I have the best relationship with her mom; she is her best friend! In Kindergarten, Elise wanted to be a police officer until she found out they carry a gun! She has wanted to be a teacher since she was in the 8th grade. Something people don't know about Elise is she has horrible eyesight. Without contacts or glasses, she is not able to function. She was denied Lasik Eye Surgery because the technology isn't strong enough for her prescription
If she won the lottery she would probably put it in a savings account, but take out enough to travel around Europe. She is stingy with money!
Best Practice
Thinking back to the 7 keys to Disney success...
"Pay Fantastic Attention to Detail"
- Think about the detail in your classroom. What do you pay the most attention to?
- Think about your lesson plans. Do you plan for differentiation? Do you focus your lesson plans toward your middle kids? Low kids? What would happen if you focused your activities on higher thinking?
