Since the beginning of school I have seen every student at my school as they've rotated through the Computer Lab during specials. This is a new experience for me as I'm used to being a classroom teacher and knowing 20 or so students at a personal level and the rest of the grade level students by name. When I took the position as Technology Integration Specialist I never planned on being full time in the lab and wasn't too sold on the idea when my principal told me I would be starting the first 6 weeks of school in the lab. Looking back- I'm glad I had the opportunity as it allowed me to get to know the students of my school and build a repor with the teachers. By no means do I claim to know every single student by name, but I do have a pretty good grasp on faces and names by this point. Perhaps the most eye opening experience for me was the drastic difference in the abilities of Kindergarteners vs. 4th graders. Those little Kindergarteners have quickly won my heart, specifically a few of them. Their interpretation of my last name has made for many "kicks and giggles". Out of Dancy, I've gotten "Ms Bancy!" "Ms Daisy!" "Ms Nancy!" and perhaps my favorite from a cutie patootie "Ms Yancy!".
