Teaching is a second career for me, after having spent a number of years in banking, followed by 11 years as a stay at home mom. When my two boys were of school age, my husband encouraged me to try teaching, and I am so glad I followed his advice! I love everything about the profession, from interacting with students, discussing children’s progress with their parents, planning lessons, and life-long learning. Grade 5 is my favorite age group; on the cusp of adolescence, grade 5 students are open to guidance and direction, but are more willing to question and challenge not only the teacher’s instruction and beliefs, but also their own. It certainly keeps me and everyone else on their toes!
