My name is Brittney Firley and I am the fourth grade teacher at Leyton Public Schools. I am also new to Leyton and am very excited about the upcoming year at such a great school.
I am a graduate of Deshler Public School in Deshler, Nebraska and attended Wayne State College in Wayne, Nebraska. I majored in Elementary Education and Early Childhood Education. Throughout high school I worked as a Teacher's Aide in the first and second grade rooms. I loved working one-on-one with the students and listening to them read. Throughout college I had several opportunities to work with children of all ages. I completed my clinical experiences in first and fourth grade classrooms and taught about Nebraska's history and Thanksgiving. This past semester I completed my student teaching experience at Wakefield Community School. There I taught first graders for ten weeks and then taught fourth, fifth, and sixth grade social studies. I enjoyed doing several hands-on activities with the students throughout this experience. Some of these activities included: making homemade butter, creating online bulletin boards, creating polar bears and penguins, and creating Oregon Trail Journals. I also enjoyed helping out with the After School Program for an hour three times a week. During my summers, I help out with the Deshler Summer School Program. There I am able to be the lead teacher in the preschool room. I also tutor a few students and babysit for family friends.
I look forward to teaching fourth grade and have several exciting activities planned for the upcoming school year! If you ever have any questions or concerns, please feel free to call or send a note or drop in. Please visit throughout the year to check out some of the fun things happening in the fourth grade room!
