Thanks

Thanks for the compliment. It took years for me to learn this. My personality has done a flip flop since I began teaching. I actually use to never say much and let others take advantage of me. Once I realized that I what I was doing was just as good as what they were, I started to change.

I like looking and analyzing the report cards. Since data is used to drive instruction practicing with authentic helps me a great deal.

Dr. Closen, I love your stories! Your retirement was a lost to your district. I love how you started you day. You made every employee feel that they were valued.

I've always made a special effort to treat all my co-workers the same. At the beginning of the year the playground supervisors don't know what to make of me because when I pick my students up I always say "Thank you." Two small words but it let's them know that I value what they do on a daily basis.
