Thank You!

I would like to say "thank you" to all the parents who attended parent conferences!  It was a pleasure to meet you and discuss your child's progress!  Please stay tuned for more information about our class "happenings" as well as some fun photos!

A little bit about me...

Hello! My name is Ginny Janak and this is my 12th year of teaching. I graduated from Texas A&M University with a Bachelor of Science degree in Interdisciplinary Studies in the field of early childhood education. I also hold a Masters of Education in Leadership and Policy Studies. After 11 years of teaching kindergarten, two moves and a lot of soul searching, I am teaching 1st grade and I still don’t have all of the answers! :)

But, what I do know is that I am so blessed to have two beautiful children, a wonderful husband and family and friends I can always count on. As I reflect on my life, most of my experiences have involved teaching and guiding others. I have been drawn to working with children and feel that it is a gift to be able to influence their lives in a positive way!

I am three weeks in and am starting to get settled. There are so many ideas, tasks and lessons I want to tackle and there is just not enough time in the day! I am working on balancing my life! I know now, that I cannot not do it all, but it is most important to do what counts…the BEST! That is “building relationships” with my family, children, friends and MY STUDENTS!

We may not have it all together all the time, but we have it all. And we have each other! I am so excited to be on this journey and look forward to what it is going to bring to my life, but most importantly what I can do to change the lives of others around me!

Happy Days! And Happy 1st Grade!!!!
