I've got sunshine on a cloudy day!" is the song I sing in the hallway as students pass by. I believe the environment provided, excitement and compassion are the keys to helping a person grow intellectually and develop a passion for learning. Whether it was doing the Onomatopoeia Tango with my English students or dressing as a Flapper Girl with my History students, smiles abound in Mrs. Anderson's classroom. I am confident I will provide the same in the next chapter of my career whether being a Trainer, Workshop Presenter or Author.
