It's a long story, I'll do my best to give the short version of it. My first year teaching I taught 3rd grade. For a multitude of reasons, it did not go well. Through some fortunate events, I ended up in Head Start as a kind of way to get a second start. I had student taught in kindergarten and while I did well with the kinders, I didn't really want to work with the little guys initially. The Head Start program in my county is amazing. I got the support I needed to become the kind of teacher I knew I could be. It wasn't my first choice, but it's been the best thing that ever could have happened for me.
