About me

My name is Uzma Butt. I graduated from University of South Alabama with an elementary school teaching degree. I believe that all students are creative and talented and I as a teacher has a responsibility to help them discover their talents. I will be a guide to my students in exploring this beautiful world.I believe that all the subject areas whether it is math, science, art, social studies or physical education have equal importance in children's education. In my classroom the students will have the to speak and to be heard, they will be able to present their opinions.I also believe that we (teacher, parents and students) are team and we will work together to accomplish our goals. In my class the students will have fun learning and exploring new things.

Ask Questions

I will encourage my students to ask questions without hesitation. I will be more than happy to help you. Asking questions is a very good way to learn. Few other reasons you should ask questions are stated in this poem by Ben Stiefel
Never Be Afraid to Ask Questions
Never be afraid to ask questions
Never be afraid - to ask "why"
Never be afraid to ask questions
'Cause that's the only way - to get wise
When the teacher says something that you don't understand
That's the time to ask a question by raising your hand
Don't be afraid to speak up - say what's on your mind
Ask a question and - free your mind
Never be afraid to ask questions
Never be afraid - to ask "why"
Never be afraid to ask questions
'Cause that's the only way - to get wise

There's an easy way for you to learn and to grow
Ask a question to find out the things you don't know
Like, "Where does the sun go every night?
Does it disappear, no, that can't be right."
Never be afraid to ask questions
Never be afraid - to ask "why"
Never be afraid to ask questions
'Cause that's the only way - to get wise
No one ever learned by sitting quietly keeping their questions inside
Never be afraid to ask your teachers - let them be your guide
Someone in your class may not understand and need an answer, too
You can be the hero of the day if you ask a question or two
Never be afraid to ask questions
Never be afraid - to ask "why"
Never be afraid to ask questions
'Cause that's the only way - to get wise
