Hey Sarah!

First: KUDOS on the teaching philosophy! I agree wholeheartedly with your belief in using bright colors to stimulate the children's minds! Also, I think you've got the right idea about how to keep and capture their attention--children like routine but they also like to change it up a bit--keep it interesting! :-D But the bright colors and active, interesting atmosphere...well, all I can say is that it sounds like your students will love having you as a teacher!

Second: It appears we have quite a lot in common--although I guess when you live in the mountains, that peaceful environment provides a wealth of past-times. I have also worked as a substitute teacher--in both high schools and elementary schools; it is an interesting challenge and you come into contact with all sorts of different situations. I know what you mean about becoming a teacher. It DOES just feel right; I only wish I had discovered this sooner!

It will be interesting to work with you in class this semester!
