How do you like teaching middle schoolers: It is a huge change going from 1st grade to the middle school but I really like it!  The most challenging task was learning over 100 student names!  I like how independent the students are and how everything in the building just flows.  It’s been great so far!

Do you miss your first graders: m I always miss my former students, but switching to seventh grade gives me the possibility to have them again as students.  That is fun and I am looking forward to that!

What do you like about teaching at the middle school: I like being able to focus on one subject… Reading is my favorite!  I like the atmosphere at the middle school and being involved with sports, assemblies and the other fun activities that NMS participates in.  I also like how friendly and welcoming the staff has been to me.  I’m looking forward to many fun years here!
