Hello TE 818! My name is Ashten and I am very excited to become more technologically savvy this semester. I have been teaching at a charter school in the Metro Detroit area for the last four years. I taught second grader for two years before being offered a position in the fourth grade. I love my upper elementary class, their personalities are wonderful. I teacher all content areas. However, I did major in mathematics and minor in English and dance in undergrad. This school year has been busy with lesson planning, teaching dance after school, and beginning my master's degree. I am also the ambassador for our school wide behavoir management program, Capturing Kids Hearts. I had a wonderful time this summer getting this certification in Grand Rapids, MI.

In my free time I enjoy reading, cooking, and going on vacation. I absolutely love to travel! However, my husband has recently returned to school which really puts a damper on vacation plans. He is currently attending Wayne State University's Medical School. Our last big trip was two years ago, we went to Hawaii on a belated honeymoon. The only thing I love more besides vacationing (and my husband) is coffee. My students' parents will sometimes surprise me with a cup of coffee during the school day. I associate getting an unexpected cup of coffee to the happiness I would have if I ever won the lottery!

This is me in Hawaii!
