No |
| What led you to teaching? |
|
For several years I worked with children through coaching gymnastics and worked (separately)
on research projects in psychology and early childhood education.
I finally realized that I wanted to combine all those interests and experiences and become a teacher! |
| What
is your favorite part of teaching and interacting with children?
Do you have any special interests or what is your favorite part
of the school year? |

I love the way children's minds work; they are so curious and creative. They make me smile
and see the world in a new way every single day. My favorite part of the day is reading and
discussing novels with the whole class. My favorite parts of the school year are: our class
publishing parties to celebrate the children's writing and the arrival of the monster millipedes
with our organisms science kit! |
