I am about to start my 11th year as a teacher! I started as a third grade teacher, moved to teach 6th grade language arts in a middle school. After 2 years of that I had the opportunity to work part time as the ELL teacher at my school. I did that for 6 years before deciding to go back to the gen. ed. classroom. Last year I taught kindergarten and loved it, however took an opportunity to move to 1st grade.
