Mrs. Alice Oberbroeckling
4th Grade Teacher
Share what you enjoy about teaching.
I enjoy facilitating the learning in my classroom and seeing the children "get it" when they learn a new concept. I also love being around the energy and excitement of children!
What is your favorite subject to teach and why?
My favorite subject to teach is Religion because I love to bring the children to Jesus!
How much does your faith guide you each day, or how has it shaped you into the person that you have become?
My faith guides me every day because I am lifted, encouraged, or humbled by a Bible verse or a Saint's quote. I will start my day out with that and it stays with me through the day as I am with the children. My faith has shaped the person I have become because it permeates every aspect of my life - from my marriage, raising my own sons at home, and teaching my students at school.
What is your favorite hobby to do outside of teaching?
My favorite hobby is playing board games with my family!
If you were not a teacher, what would your second career choice be?
If I wasn't a teacher, I would want to be in a caretaker role, because that is important to me, to care for others and lift them up. My twin sister works with the elderly and helps them stay active in various ways - I think I'd like to do that, too.
Who is your hero or who has been an inspiration to you and why?
So many of the Saints are my heros! I would have to say especially Saint Therese of Lisieux because of her "Little Way" - no matter how small my chore is, I can do it for God.
What wish do you have for your students this school year?
My wish for my students is for them to grow in their academic knowledge of course, but also in their love and reliance on Jesus. As a parent, it is my #1 job to give my kids the tools they need in order to get back to Heaven. As a teacher, this is what I want for my students, too!
