Mrs. Sheila Rekowski
4K Teacher
Share what you enjoy about teaching.
Teaching young children has been a part of my life since I was in Kindergarten and loved the excitement of new friends as well as my loving kindergarten teacher who always had a smile and calm nature. The most enjoyable part of teaching my students is actually observing and watching them play and interact with each other and being wowed at what they are learning.
What is your favorite subject to teach and why?
I love teaching beginning reading and writing. It is awesome the strides each child makes throughout the year.
How much does your faith guide you each day, or how has it shaped you into the person that you have become?
Each day I feel God is guiding me and showing me how every child's needs are never the same and that calm care is needed to help each one through each day. These are values I have learned at an early age, to be patient, kind and calm and to include God in every day that we are blessed with.
What is your favorite hobby to do outside of teaching?
In my free time, I enjoy spending time with my four grown children and their children! I also like to take my dog Max for walks in the woods where we see deer, turkeys, cranes, and other wildlife. I also go to the barn to ride and care for my horse Moby! He is a tall boy, standing 16 hands, but a loveable creature.
If you were not a teacher, what would your second career choice be?
If I could not be a teacher, my second choice would be to be some sort of caregiver for God's creation, be it wild or domesticated.
Who is your hero or who has been an inspiration to you and why?
My hero and inspiration in my life is my sister. She has always cared for everyone in my family and I admire that in her. She cared for my father, mother, brother, aunt and uncle in their last days. She now takes care of her in-laws as they are in their last days. She is an angel. My sister and I are as close as close can be, even though we live an hour apart.
What wish do you have for your students this school year?
My wish this year for my 4K children is for happiness, health and safety with a big dose of fun while learning how to get along in this big world!
