Welcome to Mr. Black's 5th Grade Class

[email protected] [email protected] 5th Grade I believe that every student is capable of great things, as a teacher I am simply here to help guide students to be great. Hello, and welcome to our 5th-grade class. Wow, that was a little weird for me to write. After spending so many years in 6th grade, I finally get a chance to teach 5th grade and I could not be more excited! My name is Trevor Black, for those of you lucky enough to be a part of our classroom I will be your teacher in the upcoming school year. I graduated from Utah Valley University with a degree in Elementary Education. I am also an alumni of Utah State University, where I received my Bachelor of Science degrees in Anthropology/Archaeology and Ancient History. During my time at Utah State University, I was lucky enough to be a part of multiple archaeological field studies. I was also part of the team that created the first Egyptology exhibit at the Utah State Museum of Anthropology. I recently finished my Masters Degree from The University of Miami Ohio and Project Dragonfly. I studied conservation education and zoology in the global field program. Through this program, I have studied environmental stewardship in Belize. People & Wildlife conflict in Kenya. As well as spending the summer in Australia studying the Great Barrier Reef. If you are in my class, you will quickly find out that I am a die-hard Green Bay Packers, Utah Jazz, and Utah State Aggie fan. Although I love history and archaeology, my first and true love will always be our natural world. I spent three years working at Utah's Hogle Zoo in the education department. I love educating people about the natural world, especially endangered animals. I believe that our natural world is in great danger, but we are not too late. Every day great people, are doing amazing things to help protect our world. Dr. Seuss says it best, " Unless someone like you cares a whole awful lot, nothing is going to get better. It's not." I am beyond excited for the upcoming school year, the adventure that is upon us will be legendary. I look forward to getting to know each and every one of you. -Trevor Black Promise me your best, and I will Never Give UP on you! |

Your getting to know you video can be created on any type of device (smartphone, ipad, etc). The actual video should only be between 2 and 3 minutes. In the video, I would like for you to tell us about yourself. Include things like your favorite book, movie, band, song, food, type of taco. Really anything that you would like to share that will help me get to know you. I would also like you to show us two different items that you like or that tell us something about you. (In my video I showed the golf ball and a gecko.) After you have made your video you can either bring the video into class on a smart device, or flash drive, or you can upload it to youtube or vimeo. You can also email it to me, if you email it to me please send it to [email protected] (This is a gmail account and will be able to accept large files). This is honestly one of my favorite projects that we do all year. I love getting to know you. |
