About+Me

My name is Rebecca Rockey. I am in my second year teaching kindergarten at Jackson Elementary School. I can honestly say I love my job. I get to go to work Monday through Friday and not only see kids grow and learn, but be a part of their excitement to learn. I get to work with people who share the same belief that all children can learn, and will do anything to make that happen. My day doesn't end with the bell, but each child becomes a part of my life and I hold a special place in my heart for each child that comes through my classroom doors. I pass on to my students the importance of being a life-long learner. I completed a Bachelor of Arts in Psychology and obtained my K-6 Teaching Certificate from Lycoming College in 2009. I am currently taking this Internet for Teachers course, as well as starting my Masters of Teaching and Learning through Lock Haven's online program this semester. I am blessed to have a wonderful supportive family. My husband, Tyler, supports me in everything I pursue. He has been my rock since April 5, 2004. We have been married since June 6, 2009. On August 2, 2010, the blessings continued to come when our daughter arrived in this world. Her name is Taylor Isabella, who is now 1 1/2. She has so much energy and keeps me smiling everyday. We also have a lab/german shepherd puppy, named Sadie. No shoes, socks, toilet paper, or paper towels are safe in our house right now between having a toddler and a puppy!

I don't have much time for hobbies right now, but when I do get a chance to have some "me" time I like to scrapbook. I also like digital photography, especially black-and-white. I like playing softball and pretty much any sport. My husband and I love going camping/hiking, and I cannot wait to take our daughter this summer. We also look forward to vacationing at the beach every year. Some people might think its boring, but I love playing board games and card games.

Mostly, I love just hanging out with friends and family.
