My name is Inma Galan. I'm a high school teacher-librarian at Downers Grove South High School. I'm starting my 5th year at DGS HS, prior to working at the high school, I worked at a public library where I facilitated storytimes for babies, toddlers, and preschoolers. Ironically I found that we have a preschool site at our high school and have had the opportunity to instruct on how to provide storytimes that support early literacy with the highschool students in those classes. We even have the little preschoolers coming into the library for their storytime.
This is my 5th class in this program and I'm truly enjoying trying to figure out how to apply the ideas from these classes to my instruction. My summer trips got postponed so I decided to make the most out of my time and take 3 classes. For me every teaching day is different, we serve all our students and teachers covering a wide range of topics and lessons. From teaching research skills to citation tools to providing storytime lessons. We are a 1:1 school and leverage our technology every day.I am a mom to two boys (17 & 13), a dog, two cats, and one adopted dog that lives with us. Our house feels like a small zoo at times. I love to travel and had planned trips to Australia and Spain for this summer that sadly will have to be postponed.
I'm looking forward to working and learning from all of you.

Looking forward to learning together this semester..We fostered dogs for several years and ended up adopting our very first foster dog...
ReplyDeleteThe "adopted dog" belongs to my future father-in-law who lives with us...I'm not ready to adopt or even have another dog. I'll love to get kittens...but for now we have plenty of pets.
ReplyDeleteHave you been to Spain before?I have been to Barcelona and loved it. I also enjoy traveling over the summers.
