I am Arizona's newest Kindergarten teacher! One of the elementary schools in the Paradise Valley School District (the district we actually live in) experienced an increase in student enrollment and decided to create a new Kinder class - with me as the teacher! My new little peanuts will have their first day in our new room (Room 407) on Monday! In the meantime, I have been in the classroom everyday preparing for the munchkins. I feel especially blessed to have this position with all of the current education budget cuts, though I did go through a bit of a trial gathering all the Arizona-specific paperwork before I signed yesterday (nothing a trip to the state Department of Education couldn't fix). After teaching fourth grade for four years, kindergarten will be a totally different experience and I am excited to keep growing as an educator, and thrilled to have this challenge.
So excited to hear about your first day in Kindergarten!!! If you need ideas don't hesitate to call. I remember those days all too well. Congratulations...
