Thanks for voting! FPHTW Best Teacher Winner: Alyssa Skiff, East Hanover Middle School By JENNIFER L. NELSON SPECIAL TO FLORHAM PARK HANOVER THIS WEEK Lifelong Whippany resident Alyssa Skiff isn’t afraid to bring some fun into her classroom, where she has been teaching Spanish to grades six, seven, and eight at East Hanover Middle School for two years. “I try to keep class fun. I pay attention to what the students enjoy, and what’s effective,” she said. A graduate of the education program at Muhlenberg College in Allentown, Pennsylvania, Skiff has always harbored a love of learning. She has known that she wanted to pursue a career in teaching since childhood. “My teachers and coaches inspired me to become a teacher. They became role models to me and I knew that, someday, I wanted to have that same effect on my students,” she said. “I chose to teach middle school because the students are so great at that age…they keep the job interesting, and definitely keep me laughing.” Though Spanish is not her first language, Skiff said it was her favorite subject to study when she was a student. “I learned Spanish the same way that most of my students are learning the language — through school,” she said. “There are so many benefits to speaking another language, and even if my students don’t realize that now, someday they will. The students come to me with little exposure to the language, and seeing their improvement throughout the year is truly rewarding.” When it comes to her personal teaching style, Skiff knows how to retain her students’ interest in the language. She and her students all enjoy playing original games as well as classics like Jeopardy, Scrabble, Bingo, and “Guess Who?” to reinforce the concepts they’re learning in class. “The games keep class fun, but are educational at the same time,” she said. Her eighth grade students also maintain online pen-pals who live Spain, and are learning English while her students practice their Spanish. “The project helps the students practice reading and writing in Spanish, while they learn about the culture and life in Spain,” she said. “The pen pals share stories about their families, towns, school, and holidays.” Outside of the classroom, Skiff is a coach who enjoys running and reading in her spare time, in addition Thank You For Voting Us “BEST DINER” 992 1 ince S to spending time with her parents, brother, and sisters. “There are so many amazing, dedicated teachers in the district, and they inspire me to work hard and do the best that I can,” Skiff said. “Along with my students, they’re a huge reason why I love what I do.” Welcome to the Brookside Diner 4HANKYOUFORVOTINGUS h"ESTOF#HILDCAREv HILD v INTHEAREAONCEAGAINå Breakfast Anytime • Daily Selection of Homemade Soups Authentic Italian & Greek Specialties • Super Salads Lunch Specials Soup, Coffee or Soda, Jello, Pudding or Ice Cream Early Bird Specials Mon.-Fri. 3pm-6pm starting at $8.50 Includes Soup or Salad, Coffee, Tea or Soda & Dessert of the Day Baking done on Premises Major Credit Cards Accepted Your Hosts MIKE, JOHN & GEORGE 699 Rt. 10 East • Whippany • 973-515-4433 Open 7 days 6am - 1am - Mon. thru Thurs. & Sun. 6am - 2am Fri. & Sat. $3 %.2/,,).' )NFANTS4ODDLERS0RE+ Twice is Nice Kids Consignments & Resale *OINOURCircle of CareWHERETHENEEDSOFWORKINGPARENTSARE ASEQUALLYIMPORTANTASTHECAREANDEDUCATIONOFTHEIRCHILDREN s0ARENT6IEW¸)NTERNET-ONITORING sh'REENvNONTOXICENVIRONMENT Thank You for Voting us #1 in the Consignment Category s%XTENDED$AYSAMTOPM s%XCELLENTDEVELOPMENTALCURRICULUM s,OWCHILDTOTEACHERRATIOS 6)3)4534/$!9å q2AINBOW!CADEMYCOM 3OUTH*EFFERSON2D7HIPPANY $3 AP-5000472303 Are you looking for a good deal on children’s clothing and accessories?
