Guess who is SO EXCITED to be starting her full-time teaching assignment tomorrow!?!?!?! ME!!!!!! Kindergarten! And I have an awesome teaching partner in the room with me: Melissa McDonnell Means, plus another one next door: Liv Livie (Olivia). I hope that I can sleep tonight! LOL! I feel so lucky to have been given this wonderful opportunity at Mattos Elementary School. Many thanks to my dear friend Helen Juarez-Bolt for recommending me to the school last year when I taught first grade. That was also a wonderful experience since I learned so much from Kristin Hild Williamson and Sherrie Thompson (the other first grade teachers). Plus, at the beginning of this year I had the most awesome job of opening up one of the Science labs and teaching Science for the first three weeks to 1st-3rd graders. Yay! Worked with another fabulous teacher, Wendy Goodfellow, who introduced me to the wonderful world of science and is tempting me to pursue a single subject in science once Im done getting my multiple subject. WOW! Great things happening in the teaching world. Also, MANY MANY thank yous to all the wonderful teachers at Warwick Elementary School that have been such a great inspiration all these years that I have been a Warwick parent. I cant even begin to describe what great role models they have been to my kids and to me! A happy night tonight!
