About MeHello everyone!
I hope you enjoyed your summer and are as ready as I am to begin the 2016-2017 school year! My name is Ms. Amanda Pawelek and I am the half-time music teacher at Roan Forest Elementary School and half-time music teacher at El Dorado Elementary School. I graduated from University of the Incarnate Word with a bachelor's degree in Music Education. The 2015-2016 school year marked my first year teaching and I am looking forward to this coming year as I have so many more ideas and activities for the music classroom to deepen your child's love for music. This summer, I completed the first of three levels for the Orff Certification. I was able to collaborate with many teachers and we shared and received many ideas to make your child’s music learning and music making even more engaging. I also got the opportunity to attend World Youth Day in Poland where two million people from all over the world came together to build community. It was the best experience where I learned so much about other cultures and my faith. In my spare time, I enjoy spending time with my family, friends, and my dog, Beau. A fun fact about me is that I am a triplet! Children are the future and it is my goal to not only instill a love for music in each child but to also empower them with knowledge. |
