This year I worked in the classroom with teacher Wendy. She has a class of about 30 3-4 year olds. She has managed to teach lessons with her class, maintain attention from her class, and follow the schedule so they get enough outdoor play before nap. I spent the first few weeks sitting back and observing her and I just want to salute her. She goes to college once a week and also has two kids at home. She shows up everyday and does a wonderful job educating her class. I can resonate with her having just finished school and working full time. She is an inspiration to me. I am so humbled watching her navigate the dynamics of her classroom and doing so with ease. I am going to miss her so much but I am so glad I had the opportunity to learn from her.
