Thank you for welcoming me to the network! 

Thanks for joining me...I look forward to sharing info and ideas!

No. I live in Waukesha and teach in Pewaukee. Recently applied for a tech position in Waukesha.

Thanks for the friend add Jessica!

Thank you! I am new to this and very excited. I love all the collaborating! I am meeting a lot of awesome educators.

Actually I'm an Illinoisan who lives far enough north in Illinois (Lena) that we made frequent forays into Wisconsin. We often went to Monroe. I love the Kettle Moraine area around East Troy. One of my main concerns with education in America is the stifling effect of high stakes testing. I also believe the single most effective way to improve our schools is to reduce class size rather than invest in expensive programs and palatial schools.

Hello, Jessica, My wife and I have some fond memories from the area around Milwaukee. We met at New Tribes Bible Institute in Waukesha and became engaged when we worked at a Camp Timberlee near East Troy. Much of my elementary teaching experience was in southeast Asia teaching missionaries children.

Happy Birthday! Hope you had a great day!

Thanks for "friending" -- a nice welcome. And nice to hear from Milwaukee, since I grew up in Racine. :-)

Thank you!

Thanks for leaving the birthday wishes! I'm just now getting around to my messages.

It was very sweet of you to with me a happy b-day! Thanks!!
