My name is
Roshaun Penny, and I
am a
native of St.George's, Bermuda. I
currently live in Jonesboro, GA.,
where author
Margret Mitchell conducted historical research at the city courthouse
for the writing of "Gone with the Wind". I am a Special Education
Co-teach Instructor in the Henry County school system at Dutchtown
High School.
(St. George's, Bermuda)
I am
married to Mark Penny
and we have 3 sons: Jourdyn (17), Shaun (11) and Ajahni (6). I
enjoy spending time with my family,
teaching, singing, reading and keeping up to date with politics in the U.S. and
abroad. I am the
sponsor and director of the student organized gospel choir, "The
Heritage Chorale". I was also a member of the 2007-2008 prom
committee
- "An
evening in the Orient",
which was a smashing success this year!
I love
teaching Social Studies
and working with students that have
various learning styles, this makes my work day enjoyable and very
rewarding. I am currently an online graduate student at Valdosta
State University
completing a Master of Arts in Teaching - Special Education. I
currently
teach 12th grade American Government and Economics. One of my
favorite teacher resources for my American Government course is teAchnology,
they offer a wonderful assortment of lesson plans, rubrics, worksheets,
tips and tools that are useful in the classroom. My students have
enjoyed Mr.
Donn's Activity pages, which has student resources and interactive
games on the Bill of Rights, the Constitution, Three Branches of
Government and Civil liberties.
