Shelley Watson

Hello, I’m Shelley. I’m an elementary school teacher from St. Catharines, Ontario. I am in my sixteenth year teaching and sixth year teaching Grade 8. I run a number of clubs and teams in the school, and am currently wrapping up Intermediate Boys and Girls Volleyball teams. For over a year, I have been running Makerspace sessions on a weekly basis and have really enjoyed the learning adventure that, that has been. I decided to take this course as during my career, my students have primarily had English as their first language. It has not been until this year that I have students that are on an ELL program. I want to ensure that I am doing what I can for them in my classroom for any students I have in the future.

Outside of school, I am a fan of food, movies, running and volleyball. I love to travel and try to whenever the time and $ permits. I look forward to learning with everyone!
