About Me
My name is Melissa Epes and I am from Saratoga, CA. I am currently in the Master Credential Cohort program at the University of San Diego working towards my multiple subject teaching credential and my Masters in Curriculum and Instruction. I have had experience working in many different educational settings. I did one practicum at High Tech Elementary Chula Vista (Charter School) in a Kindergarten classroom and an another practicum at Mueller Charter School in a 2/3 combination classroom. I student taught part time at Los Altos Elementary School (traditional school) in a 3rd grade classroom and I student taught full time at Thomas Jefferson Elementary School (traditional school) in a kindergarten classroom. In addition, I've taught math and science to 5th graders at a summer school program called Summerbridge San Diego. I have loved teaching all of these grades but there is something special about teaching kindergarten and I would ultimately like to teach Kindergarten one day. I can't wait to see whats in store for me as move on to my next chapter of my teaching career!
