Recent Grad Gains Teaching Experience
A special guest joined Mrs. Carrie Maronde and her students at Chardon Middle School earlier in September.
Hailey Green, a recent graduate of Chardon High School and a published author, spent the week of Sept. 2 working with students in Maronde’s fourth-grade math and science class.
Green, who graduated from CHS in May, helped the students with their science explorations and math problems and she also read them her book, “Puffles Goes Camping in Ohio.”
“Needless to say, we had a fantastic week,” Maronde said.
As a student, Maronde said that Green spent many weekends camping with her family.
“She loved telling the other fourth-graders all about her camping experiences when we would return to school on Mondays,” Maronde said.
Such experiences inspired her writing.
After graduating, Green reached out to her former teacher and expressed an interest in potentially pursuing a career as a teacher.
“She asked if she could come in and spend the week in my classroom to see if teaching is something she really would enjoy doing,” Maronde said. “And yes, Hailey did decide she is going to pursue a career in teaching. I can already tell she is going to make an outstanding teacher. She’s a natural!”
