My name is Chrissy. I grew up in Ohio and moved to Arizona to teach Kindergarten back in 2010. Teaching Kindergarten in Arizona was such a fun and challenging learning experience. I had the privilege each year of teaching Kindergarten English Language Learners. For 6 years, I taught at a Title 1 school with a majority Hispanic population. And 3 years after that, I moved districts and taught at a Title 1 school with a high refugee population. Most of those years, I had at least 10 different home languages represented in my room! I felt like I was really making a difference, and I know I was, but really when I think back… my students were the ones making a difference in my life. They taught me about compassion, perseverance, and love. Together, we all grew!
