Introduction

Welcome to my corner of the internet!

A little about me:

My name is Cayenne Frazier and I am a Junior and Texas State University. One of my favorite teachers on TikTok is Ms. Chang (@mschanggifted). I've watched her for a long time and enjoy her videos. She creates videos where she reenacts situations that have happened in her classroom. Her videos also show tactics she uses in her class. One of her videos shows her use of "desk pets" as a positive reinforcement tactic.

Why teach?

I have wanted to become a teacher since I first started school. School has always been what I am good at and enjoy, and I truly admired all of my teachers. I also have had a lot of experience with babysitting and just truly love working with children. My teachers made a huge impact on me, and I want to do the same for my future students. I do not have any teachers in my family, and my family honestly tried to discourage me from becoming a teacher. Becoming a teacher has always been my dream, though, so I am following through with it. I also have a passion for math and would love to instill that into my students or at least stop any confusion or hatred they may have for the subject.

After working with third and fourth-grade students this summer, I would love to teach one of these grades. I feel that I got along very well with this age group and loved their excitement and passion for learning. I hope to teach all subjects, but if I end up at a school that separates subjects in elementary, I would likely choose math. I worked with a class of 12 students this summer but would love to have a little bit of a larger class. I would like to work at a school that has around 15-20 students per class. I feel that it is easier to connect with students with this amount.
