2. Miss Hookom All about

3. When I was five years old… my dream was to become a teacher! My parents turned my basement into my very own classroom. I spent the majority of my time down in my “classroom" playing school. I was the only one who was ever allowed to be the teacher. My mom was lucky enough to live with me- so she could be my “student” all the time! Of course, whenever my friends came over- you know what we would be doing!

8. A few of my favorite things…

9. Expectations Respect yourself, others, and school property Show integrity: “Honesty is the best policy” Always try, do your best, and know that it is okay to make mistakes! We learn from them! Have a positive, “I can” attitude: NEVER GIVE UP! Learn, learn, learn! Be flexible! Have a “this is it” mentality

10. My Goal Understand how each of you learn Motivate, engage, and encourage you to be the best you can be! Have rewarding fun! Create a classroom atmosphere that is warm and inviting! Become the best teacher I can be!
