About Ms. Annacchino

Picture
Hello, everyone! My hope is that this site is used not only for fun, but I want these resources to be used consistently.  This is a great way to supplement what we learn in the classroom!  By using this site a little bit everyday, I guarantee that scores can be improved. It also really shows that you are dedicated to learning and working hard!

A little about my background: I grew up in the Milwaukee and surrounding area all my life.  I attended UWM as an architecture major before I realized that teaching was what I really wanted to do.  Between student teaching and field work, I've had experience teaching in most grade levels between 1st through 8th grade. During my time in college I also worked as a teacher preparing high school students for college and providing extra instruction where needed.  On the side, I also worked as a line therapist for students with autism. I've been at Atlas for 3 years now, and I love it.  All of these experiences have turned me into the teacher I am today. 

My goals as a teacher go beyond the basic 5th grade content.  I work rigorously with students to teach them HOW to think and HOW to make sense of the world around them. I teach them to think for themselves. I teach them to strive to learn for themselves, and not simply for a prize. I provide instruction in a manner that meets each student where they are at, and pushes them to the next level.    In addition to that, I also focus quite a bit on students developing their character.  After all, we are all equal partners of a team working on creating strong, successful, and hardworking individuals! 

If you have any questions or concerns, please don't hesitate to call or email me.
