A little about me...

My name is Ashley Yap and I am a Junior at Iowa State University. I am currently achieving an elementary education major and the learning technologies minor. Along with my major I am gaining a reading and social studies endorsement. I am hoping to become a classroom teacher but I have thought about becoming an instructional coach as well. I would love to teach the lower grades but I am open minded about trying any grade! In my classroom I hope to teach students to always be themselves. It is so important for each student to feel valued for who they are and I hope to achieve that. I want each of my students to feel safe and confident in my classroom. Which is where the really cute picture of the giraffe comes into play :).
