Janet Sitts
Janet Sitts has been my resident teacher at my student teaching placement site for the majority of my credential year. I was working at Valley Oak Elementary in Davis, CA, in Janet's 2nd/3rd combination class. She has so much experience and I learned so much form her!
Mary Ponce
Mary Ponce is my principal at Valley Oak Elementary. During her first year at the school, she was faced with a lot of really difficult issues facing the school, and handled them all with such poise and dedication. Through watching Mary this year I have gained a newfound appreciation for all that our principals do for us.
Joanne Galli-Banducci
Joanne Galli-Banducci is a lecturer at UC Davis, and my student teaching supervisor. Joanne was my professor for my Reading in Elementary Schools methods class, as well as our student teaching seminar. She taught me so many wonderful ways to incorporate my love of children's literature into the classroom!
Daniela Bazzoli-Ferrari
Daniela Bazzoli-Ferrari is the owner of Le Petit Kids Club, the preschool where I worked as a teacher for 14 months after I graduated from college. My time at preschool taught me so much about classroom management, and only reinforced my decision to become a teacher. When I left to attend UC Davis, it broke my heart to leave my kids, and I still love going home to visit.
