Hello Everyone!!
My name is Julianne Diiacova and this is officially my first blog ever. Admittedly, I feel a bit out of my comfort zone using this format but I hope that that discomfort will help me grow as an educator. Even though I am taking this class to complete my master's degree, I also want become more savvy in the world of technology and use it in my classroom more. Last Halloween with my crazy team. (Personal Photo) Currently, I am a 4th grade math teacher at Melrose Park School, in Maywood School District 89 . I have been a classroom teacher for 18 years, in that same district. I absolutely love teaching the intermediate grades. I don't ever see myself not being a classroom teacher. Last school year, my district decided to departmentalize the 4th and 5th grades, I love it! It really allows me to hone my craft and I get to work with more kids. In addition, I am part of an amazing 4th grade team of teachers, 6 of us, and we really work well together. (Really!)...
