=Walden Five =




==Hi all I just want to say Thank you to all of you for your hard work. Everything created does look great! I wanted to take just a little time to introduce myself. First of all, I am from the great state of Texas. This is my 5th year teaching and my first year to teach a group of 2nd graders. I have really started this year off and running. This will be my first Master's through Walden and I must say I am so excited to be in this program. Technology is a very intriguing and I am just so excited to learn as much as possible. I am married (20yrs) and have 3 beautiful children. I have 2 boys and 1 girl. One son is attending our local Junior college and my daughter will be graduating this year hoping to enter University of Texas at Austin after graduation. (Go Longhorns!!!!) My other son is a 6th grader who is spoiled rotten!! As you can tell I stay very busy with church, work, school, and family. Sometimes it will get very crazy around the Redwine house but I would not trade it for the world!! I am excited about working with everyone. I know this has come a few weeks late but there was a family emergency which caused me to get a little behind schedue. Hopefully everything is looking up for my family!! Again it will be a pleasure to work with each and everyone. Please contact me anytime through our Walden email or through my school email: cynthia.redwine@tylerisd.org.==

Hi girls! Let me start saying a big Thank you to Preeti for setting up our Wiki! It looks great! I live in the Wonderful, but very cold right now, state of Wyoming! We just had our first big snowstorm of the season on Tuesday! Due to the snow we had an early release from school and a late start the next day! Got to love the snow! This is my 9th year teaching, my first year I taught 1st grade and the last eight years I have been in 4th and I just love it! This is my second Master's through Walden University, my first one was in Reading and Literacy! I am really enjoying the technology! All of it is so new to me! I have 3 amazing children, two girls and a boy 6,4, and almost 1! They keep my husband and I on our toes and we love every minute of it! I am looking forward to working with you ladies! I am very good about checking my Walden email and replying! You can also email me at my school address sheehanj@crook1.com. I also am going to set up a Skype, but have yet to do that! Is anyone else setting one up! I have never used one, but if you all have one we can use it and learn together! Let me know! Looking forward to next week!!

Hi everyone! Preeti, thanks so much for setting this up!! It looks wonderful!

I live in Pawleys Island, SC and I have been here for about 6 years now. I have been teaching for sixteen years and I currently teach eighth grade Algebra I. My students are in the Gifted and Talented program and receive a high school credit for this course. I absolutely love teaching middle school!! They are so much fun to work with and everyday is a new adventure! Prior to moving to Pawleys Island, I taught seventh grade at Dutch Fork Middle School in Irmo, SC. I have one precious daughter, Peyton who is in the third grade. She is in a competition dance group here and we travel often. We just got back from Greenville, SC and we had a blast!

I just recently signed up for Skype also and my account is judith.buzzell1. I have two emails that I check each day, my Walden email judith.buzzell@waldenu.edu and my school email, jbuzzell@gcsd.k12.sc.us

I look forward to working with all of you! Judith

Hola! Preeti, the wiki looks great. Thank you.

I am in North Haven, CT (Eastern Time Zone). This is my second year teaching eighth grade Spanish and my fifth year teaching. I started teaching Spanish to seventh graders and, prior to that, I worked at an engineering and architectural firm as an architectural designer. Even though I miss drafting and designing, I thoroughly enjoy teaching my native language to middle school kids. I am originally from Mexico and have been in the US since 1999. I have been married for 10 years and have two boys, 7 1/2 and 5 years old. Like Preeti, our family dog is a golden! His name is Bailey...he is the sweetest.

We recently started using Skype. My Skype account is emjecdac. I check my email often, you can contact me at my Walden email **mariza.carbone@waldenu.edu **or my school email mariza.carbone@reg5.k12.ct.us

I am glad I will be working with all of you.
