Hello, my name is Emma Thies. I'm graduating from Eastern Nazarene College with Honors in Elementary Education and a Liberal Arts Degree. I love teaching third graders because they are in a wonderful transitional period between higher thinking and academics, but still hold a childlike curiosity and excitement for everything. My hope for this year is that both the students and I will not only learn material and explore new topics, but we will also grow in character and continue to learn about each other.
