We had a special guest today. Our student teacher Erika Tucker came in to meet the kids and observe for the day. She is super nice and so excited to get started. She will start Feb. 2. For the first week she will observe and work with small groups of kids. Then she will start teaching a subject or two. Then she will move into her three weeks of teaching everything. She will be working closely with me the whole time. We will give you more information as the weeks go by.
