About Ms. Wilson
Greetings,
My name is Patti Wilson. I teach 5th grade at The American School of Marrakech. I am from Seattle, Washington. In Seattle, it rains a lot, and there are green trees and mountains everywhere. I am originally from a small town, outside of Los Angeles, California. I graduated from California Lutheran University, with a B.A. in Liberal Studies. I have a Master's in Teaching, from Heritage University in Seattle, Washington.
I am the oldest sister of three children, and I have been teaching in the classroom for 5 years. I have been working with children for over ten years in many different capacities. I love to read, hike, and listen to music. I also love living in Marrakech! I have been here for one year, and I have learned a lot of new things. Including: how to cook some Moroccan dishes and I have learned some phrases and words in Dereja.
Building classroom community, and teaching how to and analyze reading are my favorite subjects. The goals I have for my students, are to build stamina in reading and writing, and to feel confident that they can learn anything, if they put forth the effort.
My previous students would say that I am a strict teacher, but also very kind and fun. I think it is important to build relationships with my students, in order for them to feel comfortable and successful both inside and outside of the classroom.
I look forward to meeting you soon!
Thank you!
Ms. Patti Wilson
