Mrs. Carson started teaching second grade at St. Ambrose in 2013. She attended Saint Mary’s University, where she received a B.A. in Education.
Mrs. Carson always wanted to teach at a Catholic school and credits her amazing teachers in elementary school that she works hard to emulate now. She loves the idea of an environment full of faith and love. She believes it’s important to incorporate hands-on activities in the classroom, whenever it’s possible and feels it’s crucial for students to have the opportunity to see, feel and understand what they are learning and not just listen to the lesson. She feels it’s her job to make sure each student’s unique learning style is met within each lesson. She strives to have a classroom that provides a welcome and family-like environment and she wants every student in her class to feel safe and excited to learn every day.
Mrs. Carson enjoys spending time with her family and friends and loves to bake, be outside and be involved with animals. She also loves to travel and has been to six different countries – including doing her student teaching in Ireland!
“I have learned to never expect anything. You never know what a student is going to say or do, but that’s what makes this such an amazing job!” – Megan Carson
