During my spare time I enjoy dancing, going to the movies, politics and vacationing in exotic and exciting places. Three words that best describes me are generous, reliable and funny.

    Hi all. My name is Naeri Yoon and I teach kindergarten at P.S. 88 (I just finished my first year). I enjoy kindergarten because I get to start the kids on their real learning and you also see so growth in every child.
    During my spare time, I exercise (even though I hate it), online shop, and dream about fantastic vacations. I also enjoy reading and watching Broadway shows.
    Three words to describe me are opinionated, laid-back, and self-aware.
    I am mainly a coffee drinker but love the occasional tea.

    Hi! My name is Nathalie Walker and I am currently 4th grade teacher. I have been an educator for about 10 years. Being an educator has been something I always wanted to. I love the fact that as an educator I can make a big difference in so many lives. My goal for all my students is for them to become life long learners. I am a hard worker, determine and caring. I am neither an coffee or tea person. I am more of a hot chocolate person.

    I am a teacher. I love kids and love to teach them. I have taught for twenty years from kindergarten through college. Other than work I enjoy church, family, dinner, and travel. I am faithful, informative and generous. I am coffee!
    I only drink tea if I am under the weather

    My name is Brenda. I teach early childhood special education. I used to work in an office and found it to be endless tirelss work with absolutely no satisfaction. I missed celebrating the small things that made me smile. I decided to become a teacher and have never looked back. Everyday is a celebration and a challenge. Thats why teaching is so rewarding! Outside of work I enjoy running and singing. I would consider myself a coffee person in the morning and a tea person in the evening- (but only during Monday through Thursday!) :)

    Hi, my name is Lorraine. I'm a fifth grade teacher. I teach because I enjoy watching children learn and discover new things. The three words I think that describe me is fun, loving, and dependable. I'm a morning coffee drinking person, however, I love a steaming cup of tea each night with my daughter Christine.

    I also am a 6th grade teacher and I enjoy children deeply because they are filled with joy and they keep you young. I especially like to help students learn to read. We need to stomp out illiterate behavior in America. Read aloud at a library or volunteer your time. Tracy

    Hi! My name is Rachael Tsirklin and I a third year teacher. I taught Kindergarten my first year and then moved to first grade and now I am in a brand new school teaching kindergarten again! I have worked in many fields before I settled into teaching. I worked in Radio and TV advertising accounts, I waitressed and bartended and managed a restaurant but teaching is where my heart is! I am glad I had all of those experiences because they helped me find my true passion!
    I love to snowboard in the winter, and hike and spend time outside with my dog and husband!
    This is the first summer ever I do not have work lined up so I am really excited to see what the summer has to offer!
    Me in 3 words- funny, outgoing, caring!
    I love dunking donuts iced coffee, and peppermint tea before bed!

    I'm Sabriya. I taught first grade for 5 years, but just switched schools and will be teaching a CTT kindergarten class this fall.
    I enjoy spending time with my family, riding my bike, and learning new things. I love to travel and see naturally beautiful places, but also love coming home again. I'm addicted to the internet and have only realized in the past few days since moving and not having any wireless service. Three words to describe me-I'm generally laid back, calm and uncompetetive- I only like to compete with myself. I am a coffee and tea drinker- love them both- any time of day.

    My name is John Healy. I am a Science Cluster teacher for grades 1-5 at PS 59 in the Bronx. Last year was my first year teaching science in my school. I taught 3rd grade for 8 years and, my first year there, I taught a 4th grade inclusion class.I have been at PS 59 for 9 years. My first year of teaching was as a Life Science teacher for grade 7 at the Port Chester/ Rye Middle School in Westchester. I love anything that has to do with science (which is everything) and lately have become interested in Geology. To that end, I am taking a course later this summer at the American Museum of Natural History. There is so much amazing history associated with Manhatten and the other boroughs that is right in front of us just ripe for the teaching. Did you know that at one time Long Island and Staten Island were connected by a moraine ( anaccumulation of boulders, stones, or other debris carried and deposited by a glacier)? Or that the Hudson River was no more than only a stream?
    Neither did I.
    On a more personal level, I love spending time with my wife, Pamela, and working around the house. The summer before last I completely gutted our downstairs bathroom, down to the beams. With the help of the internet I was able to complete all of the plumbing,electrical,carpentry,drywalling, tiling and just about anything els you can think of all by myself.
    If I had to describe myself in three words they would be compassionate, pragmatic,and witty.
    I enjoy Earl Gray tea with lemmon in the morning and iced tea all summer long.

    John
