Hello, NLCA families!
I thought my new families might want to know a little background information about me.
I moved to Canvas, West Virginia in 2018 from Ohio. I was raised in a small town near Steubenville, Ohio, but I earned my teaching degree from West Liberty State College (now West Liberty University) in West Virginia's northern panhandle in 1990.
My work experience has almost always been with children. My first permanent teaching position was in third grade at Jefferson County Christian School (in Ohio) in 1994. I have also subbed in both public and private schools, been a school librarian, and most recently, collected data for a state-funded study on the effect of universal preschool in West Virginia. That last one was very valuable to me because I visited over twenty different second and third grade classes in the state! That allowed me to glean all kinds of information about how I could better teach.
Also, New Life Christian Academy is the fourth Christian school that I have worked for, so I try to use all that experience to help children like yours learn and thrive.
I taught third grade here from fall of 2021 to spring of 2024. Now, I have the blessing of returning to some of the same students I had in 2024!
This blog is where I'll be posting any upcoming quizzes, tests, or important events to remember. I use it at least weekly, so please check back often!
~~Mrs. Julia Brammer
