About Meghan McMurray
About me as a person
My family is at the core of who I am. I love spending time with my family, whether we are playing games, watching movies, sitting around the campfire, or on "adventures" (what I call trips to Tops, Walgreens, or Target). In my free time, I play monster trucks, baseball, and soccer with my nephew, who is right behind me in the picture on the left. He has lived with my family and me since he was born and is a huge part of my life. When I am not playing with trucks in the dirt, I enjoy cooking and baking. I love to try out new recipes and cook with different foods. When schools are on break I spend my days off reading. Some of my favorite authors to read are Colleen Hoover, Freida McFadden, and Lucy Score.
My Why
I was drawn to education because of the impact my favorite teachers had on me when I was a student. I loved going to school because of the way those teachers made me feel and the excitement they brought to learning. I have an acute ability to connect to students the way those teachers did to me, and I know I can make a difference in their lives. I want to work with children because I love to see their minds open up as we work on fun, hands-on learning activities.
As a teacher, I hope to be someone students confide in on rough days and who they celebrate with on their best days. I want to be a person they can turn to when they need help.
The students I teach in turn teach me valuable lessons and skills. They teach me to be patient and show me that you can find fun and enjoyment in everything.
One thing that sets me apart from other teachers is my creativity and craftiness. Whether it is coming up with something to do on the fly or planning a STEM lesson, it is sure to be fun and engaging.
