This is a new world for me and I am a little scared! It's not like I am going to be talking and teaching 6 years olds anymore! Lets face it 6 year olds love just about anything a goofy teacher does! My focus this year is going to be on collaborating and helping the TEACHERS and of course the kids! A little scary if you ask me!
