My Project

Hi there! I’m a first-year teacher embarking on a new journey as a social-emotional learning teacher in a kindergarten to 4th-grade classroom. Our classroom is designed to be self-contained, meaning my students spend most of their day in one room.

My goal is to create a serene, adaptable, and flexible learning environment that supports their learning, emotional regulation, and positive behaviors.

By equipping them with the tools to effectively manage their emotions in their daily lives, I aim to empower them for personal growth and well-being.

Thank you for your support.

Mrs. Bowden Etna - Dixmont Elementary School Grades 3-5
