What made me want to go into teaching?
When I was in First Grade, I had one of the best teachers! I would come home each afternoon and reteach everything to my stuffed animals in the basement with an old chalkboard hanging on the wall. When I finally had the opportunity to work with a student, the experience was HORRIBLE! My dreams were never shattered though, just challenged. I came back the next day with several tricks up my sleeve. He remains one of my favorites of all time. I learned that the classroom, and what we bring to it, MUST be well thoughtout, full of high energy, and meaningful each time we open the doors.
This year at Center Elementary, my heart has been able to capture many moments. Moments where connections were made and relationships were formed. I am so thankful to the Mayfield Family for letting me join their team this year. Can't wait to see what the future holds!
