Hi Everybody!

[jamijame83]

Hey guys,

My name is jami. I'm a "newbie" to ideabox forum and I'm darn happy to be here! I joined because of the Kindergarten Teachers forum. I am in school now to get my masters in education. I love kids! I have always loved kids and I can't wait to start my new profession, not that I have an old one though.

I live in NYC, but I'm originally from the mid-west. I have not adjusted to being here in the city well, but I think once I find work and meet professionals, I may finally find my footing.

Like I said, I joined because of the Kindergarten Teachers blog but I'd love to hear from anyone. Have a great time posting out there and I hope to read something from you all soon!

Ps. I love cats (big cats and house cats), rabbits, rain, and SUMMERTIME!

It's very nice to meet you! please jump right in. The boards are a bit quiet right now, but all it takes are a few people like us to get them jump started!

Welcome! I can imagine the changes you are going through moving from the midwest to NYC. I'm still getting used to NC, moving from PA and it's been almost 5 yrs!

My DD is in kindergarten and her teacher's name happens to be Jamie. I cant' wait to hear of new ideas that you have for teaching. Kindergarten is SO different now from even when my son was in K 5 yrs. ago.

I share your like of big and little kitties. We have 2 small ones ...I would LOVE to own a big one - a Siberian tiger.

Yeah,

I've got a big thing for cats. I'm a Leo and the idea of having a lion rocks my world. AndyandLexismom, you said you moved to NC from PA. I went to school in PA and moved to NYC after being there for about 4 and a half years. I miss my hometown though because it is so familiar. I knew who to talk to, where to go, what to do, and where I could find help if I needed it. Here I feel a little loss and there's doesn't seem to be a lot of resources to help me find my way.

I look forward to getting back to work and finding new people to collaborate with. What's it like in the southern part of the country?

It's not raining here, but it is snowing like crazy!

Where did you go to school in Pa.? We lived outside of Pittsburgh in Beaver County.
