https://mrfieldman.wordpress.com/2016/02/22/riding-the-roller-coaster

Old Teacher, Not Old School. RIDING THE ROLLER COASTER! February 22, 2016. I was so excited! I couldn’t wait to try the new lesson! This year I made a conscious effort to change my teaching style.

October | 2014 | Searching for Sunshine

https://mauimickey.wordpress.com/2014/10

Monthly Archives: October 2014. October 15, 2014. But each year my new group of KinderPals show me growth and development. They show me what it means to learn. They show me that they can change and adapt to their new school environment. And with each passing year I hope they show me what I need to do to be the best teacher I can be.
