Ms. Carnaghi's First Grade Monkeys

As of June 10th, 2011, I completed my first year of teaching. After my yearlong student teaching internship, I was fortunate enough to get a job in the district I interned in, East Lansing Public Schools. For the 2010-2011 academic year, I taught first grade at Donley Elementary. My class consisted of 19 students (10 girls and 9 boys), from a wide variety of cultural and socioeconomic backgrounds. My first year of teaching was challenging, to say the least, and also an incredibly valuable learning experience.
