EDU 744 Introduction
Fall 2014

2. Who am I?
• Hi, my name is Amanda Mayo. I am :
• An intermediate school teacher in Scarborough, Maine. I also grew up in
Scarborough, so it has been an adventure becoming a coworker with
teachers I had as a child.
• A wife to my incredibly patient husband, Drew
• Mom to my 2 year old daughter, Fynnleigh, a baby of unknown gender due
in March and of course our 5 year old Shih Tzu, Zoey.
• A lover of books, baked goods, and running (in that order)

3. Where do I live? What do I teach?
• I live in Gorham, Maine
which is not far from
Portland and about a 20
minute drive to the school
I teach at.
• I teach 5th grade literacy, writing,
science, and social studies as well as
3rd grade math at the brand new
Wentworth Intermediate School.
• Our new building is amazing and I am
so excited to be in it this year after
teaching for the last 3 years in a very
unhealthy building.
