Where I've Been...

Arizona...at least for the last sixteen years! I graduated with my associates degree from Mesa Community College in 2003. I moved out on my own and began working as a home and community based service provider for children with disabilities (basically I was/am a nanny for some of the cutest kids on the planet!) Most recently (May 2008) I graduated from Northern Arizona University with my B.S. in Elementary Education. (Go Lumberjacks!)

Where I am now...

Still in Mesa, AZ. I can honestly say that I have found my passion! I love teaching whether it is life skills or academics there is so much we can all learn! I am still working with children with disabilities and cherish the lessons they teach me everyday. I am the self proclaimed FAVORITE Aunt Tiffy to three adorable nephews...just ask them!

Where I am going...

5th Grade at Zaharis Elementary!! I start my new teacher training on July 29 and school starts August 11! We will see where life takes me! It will be a fabulous ride for sure!

WooHoo 3rd Grade!

I don't think I can say enough about how much I love teaching. For those who don't know I am student teaching at a school that does not believe in a prescribed curriculum. We believe that curriculum is created alongside our students. It's magical to watch and be a part of! I also wanted to shout out that I successfully passed the state teacher test! Yippee!!
The point of this blog is to recount the funny events that happen in my life, and they happen often. Last week I was walking with my class out of the building and one of my boys said "Miss Cameron, I like you 90%." Of course I am thinking "90%! What?" so I say to him, "You only like me 90% as a teacher! Why don't you like me 100%?" and his response (for which I was completely unprepared) "I like you 100% as a teacher," he said but in a whisper added "but 90% as a girlfriend!" I told him how silly he was and quickly sent him out to find his mother. LOL! The wisdom of a third grader has solved one of life's biggest questions for me. The next time someone asks me why I am not married, I will simply respond with "Boys only like me 90% as a girlfriend!" Hope you are all laughing! I am!!
