Hi All,
This is my first attempt at blogging. I will be utilizing many experts to help me with this project, the students and my children.
Here is a little about myself. I am a teacher in an urban district in the State of New Jersey. I have been teaching in Paterson for 11 years. Teaching is what I call my “mid-life” crisis career change. I always wanted to teach since my second grade teacher, Mrs. Criqui. I loved her class and the way she made everyone feel special. When I was in high school, I had a teacher talk me out of teaching because he was miserable in his job, but as an artist, I respected him. Little did I know. After graduating high school, I went to Berkeley Business School for legal secretarial. I worked in law until after the birth of my second child. I decided to extend my graduation from William Paterson University to obtain my teaching certification.
I completed my student teaching in an urban district and suburban district. I fell in love with the urban environment and felt I could help the children more there. To this day, I love my job. I enjoy the challenges I meet daily and working with the students to help them work through their daily challenges too.
This year I have started a science club with the 5th graders. We will be working with the programs we are currently learning at Full Sail and implementing them in our activities. I am excited and the students are too. Stay tuned to see how we are moving forward and our great work….
