In spite of the niche I have occupied (kindergarten teacher, ECE, social studies) I have taken on several other hats including drama, newspaper, yearbook, special programs, etc. Thhis has helped me connect with the entire school and kept me coming back year after year. Once you've directed "Star Trek - Trouble with Tribbles," Charlie Brown Christmas..." you know you've advanced those kids artistically. If I've done nothing else in my life I've given kids the opportunity to get up on stage in front of an audience and not be intimidated. I think this will carry them far. kg I feel like in my teaching career I have bent the rules enough to stimulate all the students in the school.
