===HI! I am a K/1 teacher at Lehigh Valley Academy Regional Charter School. I currently teach kindergarten but will loop with my students to first grade next year. One of the positives of looping is that I already know the students' strengths, weaknesses and behavior. This helps us "take off" almost immediately upon returning to school after summer break. ===

===In my personal life, I enjoy reading, gardening and hockey. I'm happily married for almost 17 years with 2 sons, 2 kitties and my father-in-law in the same house! My younger son has ADHD and OCD which can be a daily challenge. I am also learning that my father-in-law's beginning stages of Altzheimer's is a lot like having another child in the house. Recently, I've discovered my role of "Mom" has changed since my boys are teenagers. I feel a bit displaced and it's hard to stay involved in their lives without them feeling like I'm being intrusive. I'm proud of how independent they are but any advice on that is welcome!! I'm excited to learn more about technology because I want to get in good with computers before they take over the world!! ===
