“The only way to learn mathematics is to do mathematics” said Paul Halmos. At Escuela Bella Vista, there is a new middle school math teacher: Ms. Alyssa Strickland. She teaches grades 6th through 8th in the room 34. She was born and raised in Anoka, Minnesota in the United States of America.
Ms. Strickland always was decided to become a teacher because she says: “Since I was little I played with my little sister and I was always the teacher”. That made her decide and choose what career she wanted to study. In addition, she decided to become a math teacher because she loves teaching others and as a student her favorite subject was math. She has been teaching for three years and began teaching when she was 22 years old. The first grade she taught was sixth grade.
She tries to be as organized as possible. Ms.Strickland’s favorite color is blue and her favorite animal is the penguin. Her favorite sport are American football and baseball, but she likes to play volleyball. She loves to eat and cook Italian food (including pizza and pasta).
Ms. Strickland loves to travel and has gone to most of the states in the US and Mexico. She really likes jokes, her favorite one is: “What animal has more lives than a cat? A frog it croaks every night…”. Something that she recommends to all EBV students is to read the book Wonder by R. J. Palacio. Ms. Strickland wants all Escuela Bella Vista students to know: “I really like the EBV community and want to stay for at least 2 years”.
