I moved here because my sister has lived here for 7 years, and every time I would visit her, I dreaded returning home. I truly love it in Arizona - can't beat year-round sunshine. :)]]> 2016-09-25 22:13:31 UTC https://padlet.com/anne_skotowski/q2nb2bj4cpji/wish/126240170 anne_skotowski https://padlet.com/anne_skotowski/q2nb2bj4cpji/wish/126240264 My friends and family, both near and far, are very important to me and thankfully are also very supportive. My hobbies include being outside/active, running, goofing around with my 10 month old son, fashion, and helping people. ]]> 2016-09-25 22:16:27 UTC https://padlet.com/anne_skotowski/q2nb2bj4cpji/wish/126240264 anne_skotowski https://padlet.com/anne_skotowski/q2nb2bj4cpji/wish/126240384 I taught high school Spanish and coached 9th grade girls' basketball in Iowa for three years, and truly feel that education is my passion.  I had a minor in Special Education in my undergrad, and after working in the classroom, discovered that I wanted to continue to go that route and finish up my certification.  I'm so grateful to be back in the classroom again this year and am loving my new role as a Special Education teacher.   I look forward to the future!]]> 2016-09-25 22:19:13 UTC https://padlet.com/anne_skotowski/q2nb2bj4cpji/wish/126240384 anne_skotowski https://padlet.com/anne_skotowski/q2nb2bj4cpji/wish/126240546 Teaching is a rewarding experience like no other. Some of my proudest moments have been when I've witnessed and helped a student achieve his/her goal or have received positive letters, comments, or cards from students saying how much I've impacted their lives. ]]> 2016-09-25 22:23:05 UTC https://padlet.com/anne_skotowski/q2nb2bj4cpji/wish/126240546 anne_skotowski https://padlet.com/anne_skotowski/q2nb2bj4cpji/wish/126240836 I've always enjoyed school and education, and one of the great things about being a teacher is that it allows us to be a life-long learner. I'm excited to be taking education classes again and to brush up on some of strategies I have previously learned, as well as learn new information that will make me a better educator.]]> 2016-09-25 22:30:17 UTC https://padlet.com/anne_skotowski/q2nb2bj4cpji/wish/126240836
