About+me

Welcome to my electronic portfolio! My name is Kelly Gallie and I am currently completing my Bachelor of Education at St. Thomas University, concentrating in elementary education.

**Before St. Thomas**

 I was born and raised in the small town of Dalhousie, New Brunswick.  In 2006 I graduated from Dalhousie Regional High School. I discovered  my passion for teaching in grade 12 while completing my  Co-op placement at the local elementary school, and as a result decided  to further my education at St. Thomas University.

**St. Thomas University**  //**Bachelor of Arts: **// After graduation from high school, I moved to Fredericton, New Brunswick to attend St. Thomas University. I enrolled in a Bachelor of Arts degree at St. Thomas University, graduating in 2010 with a double major in English and Psychology. While completing my Bachelor of Arts, I volunteered at the <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif; font-size: 110%;">Dr. Everett Chalmers Regional Hospital in Pediatrics as well as at a local <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif; font-size: 110%;">Elementary school as a means to continue working with children of all ages.

I have completed two teaching internships to date, the most recent in a kindergarten classroom and the first in a grade 2/3 split. During each internship, I gradually assumed full teaching responsibilities.While teaching my fabulous kindergarten class, I was responsible for teaching Literacy, Math and Art, differentiating the curriculum to meet student needs. In addition, I attended weekly PLC meetings, staff meetings, Professional Development workshops and supervised students at recess and noon hour. While teaching grades 2 and 3 I taught Literacy, Math, Science, Social Studies, Personal Development, Health, Cursive Writing and Art. I also attended staff meetings, Professional Development workshops, assisted with supervision of the school choir and outdoor supervision at recess and noon hour.

It is my dream to further my education by completing my masters in counseling psychology. Ultimately, I would love to become a school guidance counselor.
