About Ms. Carter
My Background
I grew up in good ol' Downey, California with my brother and parents. My brother and I both attended Gallatin Elementary School, Griffiths Middle School, and then graduated from Warren High School. I continued on to get my B.S. in Child Development from San Diego State University. I took a couple years off of studying to travel and have some wonderful learning experiences outside of the academic world, including being an au pair in Holland for a summer. I then attended California State University, Long Beach to get my multiple subject teaching credential. During my summer break from my credential program (2007) I spent one month in Kolkata (a.k.a. Calcutta), India earning a certificate to teach English to speakers of other languages (TESOL). Since then I've taught kindergarten through 6th grade and had my own kindergarten, first, fourth, and fifth grade classes. |
My Travels
I love long trips where I can soak in local sights and cultures. Check out some of the AMAZING places that I have had the privilege of visiting:
