Becky's Kiddie College

My first experience in school involved a fabulous little van we called a bus which picked me up at on Myrtle Avenue each morning. Back in those days if you were going to kindergarten, it had to be a private one. I will never be sure how my parents afforded it since we were living in a one bedroom apartment with two kids and two parents. They found a way though and so I eagerly waited on the curb each morning for my ride off to the adventures for the day.

Inside this special place we even had a bridge under which we pretended the "Troll" lived A stool in a corner? Of course What a wonderful beginning for a career in schools.

Life in a School

I have been going to school for 48 years. Each day I Have found school to be the one place in the world where I love to be. I have been as a student, teacher, writing and reading consultant,and assistant principal. Each view of the schools where I have been fortunate enough to be has been different as well as fascinating.
I have several blogs but this one will be dedicated to education, my education...from my teachers and students, my insights, and my dreams for the classroom.
I have been fortunate enough to work in classrooms around the United States for over thirty years. It has been an adventure I want to log hopefully to keep me aware of why I love my job.
