Lisa's Portfolio

My name is Lisa Blake and I live in Chesapeake, OH with my husband Shane and our 4 year old daughter Mika Jo.  I live on a 16 acre farm where I have 9 dogs, 6 horses  and 2 cats.  I am currently a senior at Marshall majoring in elementary education.  I received my Associates Degree December 2004 and  will graduate with my bachelors spring 2009.  YEAH!  When I  am not at Marshall, Shane, Mika Jo and I spend all of our time with our horses.  Every weekend we barrel race our horses at a horse show somewhere.  We ride in local shows, rodeo circuits, and AQHA  and NBHA registered shows where we can earn points or win money.  My unit plan is on  Citizenship and the importance of good citizenship.  This unit looks at  what makes a good citizen and teaches students behaviors they need to practice in order to be a good citizen.  It also allows students to  think about and determine whether or not they are a good  citizen.  They will learn to be honest, respectful, caring, courageous and  patriotic in this unit.  They will also learn different ways they can help  in their community.
