lisab

Hello my name is Lisa Ball and I am really excited to be in this course! I am a second grade teacher, but will be teaching kindergarten next year. Being willing to change is going to be a MUST. ​After reading the article //willing to be disturbed// and being a part of our class discussion, I have a feeling that my thinking, skills, and knowledge is going to be **s-t-r-e-t-c-h-e-d!** I think my students will benefit from my experience over the next week.

I feel like I'm a lifelong learner and I have wanted to be a teacher since I was 7. Mrs. Turner, my second grade teacher inspired me, and I LOVE teaching elemetary students!!! The students are the best part of my career.   [] []
