I wanted to give a shout out to my para professional, Colleen Carroll. She's amazing! She is always happy! She's always willing to do whatever I ask of her with a positive attitude. And, most importantly, she's so very patient and caring with the students. My class LOVES Ms. Carroll! And, so do I! We are lucky to have Colleen in our class this year!
