My name is Sean Killeen and I was raised on the outskirts of
Boston. I am one of six children and we
shared lots of great memories. We played
outside, ran around the neighborhoods playing every game imaginable, and we
tested every sport known to mankind. If
it wasn’t a sport, then we turned it into one.
I am a sports fanatic!
It seemed like somebody was always sleeping over at our
house or being invited to family events. What better memories can you have when
you reminisce about family and friends? In
fact, I have three nieces and two nephews who mean so much to me.
As the years chugged along, I entered the halls of Suffolk
University in Boston. I can honestly say it was one of the best decisions for
me. I made lifelong friends and the
school was the perfect fit for me. I
earned my Bachelors of Arts in Criminal Justice, but I did take some education
courses as well. Little did I know
education would be the road taken.
I moved out to California in January of 1989. I thought it would be a short visit but for
some reason I am still here. I pursued my
multiple subject teaching credential at Long Beach State University and my Masters
in Education at National University. I headed
for the classroom and in the blink of an eye, eighteen years passed.
Well a few things happened in that span of time. I traveled
to so many countries and states. I’ve been
to Canada, Portugal, Ireland (6 times), Italy, New Zealand, Australia, Mexico,
England, Belgium, France, South Africa, Spain, Holland, The Bahamas and over 35
states.
I met a wonderful woman by the name of Christy and we wed in
the spring of 2009. Our energetic and
loving son Ciaran blessed our lives in May of 2010. Ok… so you lose a little
sleep and walk around like your eyes have been dilated for the first few months,
but my life changed for the best the day he was born. He truly is my everything!
Ciaran is growing like a weed and he has more energy than
Edison. That’s a good thing because he
keeps us active. He is always on the go
and he is now four and a half years old.
I feel like I make a difference in student lives when they
understand how to problem solve, use the resources around them, and become
critical lifelong thinkers.
I love teaching all subject matter, but I have a passion for
teaching writing. I’ll share my writing
ideas with you throughout the year.
One of my most recent accomplishments that I am proud of is being a UCLA Summer Writing Project Fellow! It was an amazing program that opened my mind to many unique ideas and teaching strategies.

My daughter is entering grade 3 next year. I was curious if you have a blog section that covers summer reading suggestions for children entering grade 3.
Thanks!
