About Me

Hello:
My name is Candace Adkins. I have three children: A 19 year old son, 13 year old son, and an 11 year old daughter. I live in Boise, Idaho. The number one thing I like to do is to spend quality time with my family.  This could include anything from A to Z, for example camping on a family island in Montana to reading, skiing, toboggan racing, zip-lining, or watching movies.

From as far back as I can remember I have always wanted to become a teacher.  I have worked with children ages zero through twelve for seventeen years in a preschool/child development program.  During this time I found I enjoyed working with children so much that I decided to make it my career. I'm pursuing my career by going to Boise State University and getting my undergraduate degree in elementary education with an emphasis in either early childhood or special education.

After receiving my degree I would like to teach students from kindergarten through third grade.  I enjoy working with this age group the most.  I feel students at the lower grade levels  are eager to learn knew things and are sponges waiting to soak up a world of knowledge. One of my goals as a teacher is to give my students the knowledge they need for a good foundation to further their success in education and life.
