My first year of teaching was spent at the Kingdom Charter School of Leadership instructing a Kindergarten classroom. This was the the first time I established my rules, routines, and expectations in my very own classroom. Some say that the first year of teaching is the most difficult year, but that is not the way I look at it. It was the year of trial and error, smiles, laughter, tears, successes, learning my personal teaching style, and a realization that this is what I was meant to do!
