Each Year Brings New Struggles

Even though I've been teaching the same class for some time now, it amazes me how different each  can be. Same age, but different kids, and personalities shape the years curriculum. As preschool teachers or an early educator, we must always remember to teach to our children's needs and level and not to our expectations. A willingness to STOP and assess how the children are doing is important.

I found this quote and made me smile. SO TRUE!

And another quote just for FUN!

Starting a blog: Newbie

I'm a newbie to blogging, but decided that my personal experience would hopefully be helpful to rookie preschool teachers or stay at home educators. I've been now teaching for 4 years in an academic preschool. When I graduated from Cal State Fullerton, I immediately was hired at a private school in Orange County. I was very fortunate to get a job that I am passionate about, but the downside was that I was hired a week before school started with no pre-set curriculum.
My first year was very rewarding, but a bit challenging. Being a rookie teacher with no real experience in curriculum development, I spent my free time preparing for the following week. Now I am proud to say that at the age of 25 with only 4 years under my belt, I am training our preschool teachers. My hard work has paid off and I would love to share some ideas in making academic learning fun.

I hope my site inspires and helps you with your teaching experience.
