Ms. P
1. Why did you
start blogging?

started sooner, but have been way too busy having families and being the best
teachers we could be.

find most rewarding about being a teacher?
We love when that
little light goes on & the feeling of pride each child has in their
successes. Our main focus is the child as a whole not just the learner.

go anywhere, where would you choose?
Karen: “I
would go to Disney. My husband says I live there in my head anyway.”

tropical!”
