Audra Call, Third Grade Teacher

acall@odysseycharter.net

Hi!  My name is Audra Call and this is my third year as a 3^rd grade teacher at Odyssey Charter School.  Along with teaching, I will also be teaming up with Brooke Garrett (Theobald) as a Core Knowledge Coordinator to help the school implement a rich curriculum and to become an official Core Knowledge School.

I grew up in Sacramento, California where I received my Bachelor's degree in Elementary Education at California State University of Sacramento.  My two beautiful daughters and I moved to Utah three and a half years ago where I completed my Master's degree in Elementary Education and received my teaching license.  I recently remarried a wonderful man last October, hence the name change. I enjoy scrap booking, reading, hiking, dancing, playing games, spending time with my family and of course teaching.  English, reading and history were my favorite subjects in school.  My favorite authors are Ernest Hemingway and Gerald Lund.  Mexican is my favorite food and I will eat anything that has peanut butter in it.  Peanut butter is practically a food group in and of itself (ha ha).

I became interested in teaching young children when I was a nanny and had the responsibility of volunteering in the children's classes.  I realized how much I enjoyed watching children learn and succeed.  I decided I wanted to be a part of that process.  Learning is a journey and I want to help children reach their highest potential in a safe and fun learning environment.  One of the most important aspects I learned while receiving my college education was that you cannot change anyone else, you can only change yourself.  That is my policy as a teacher.  My student's success depends upon my ability to teach.  If my way of teaching does not facilitate the students learning, then it is I who must change.  Teaching is also journey and I hope to continue to learn and improve as each year comes and goes.
